​Turkey Sweet Potato Pot Pie

This pie crust will not roll out as smoothly as a traditional crust.
You may have to patch it in places. But the flavor is worth it.
Picture
​What you need:
Crust:

1 cup flour
1/2 tsp salt
1 cube butter
1 egg yolk
2 Tbsp cold water
1/2 cup dried cranberries
1/2 cup pecans

Filling:

2 cups leftover turkey, diced
1/2 cup finely diced onion
1/2 cup finely diced carrot
1/2 cup finely diced celery
1 cup finely dices yams
Frozen peas
1/2 stick butter
1/4 cup flour
2 to 3 cups chicken or turkey broth
3/4 cup heavy cream
Autumn Harvest Blend
salt and pepper
​Method:
Crust:

Chop the cranberries and the nuts. Mix the flour, cranberries, pecans and salt. Cut the butter into small pieces and work them into the flour, using a pastry cutter or your fingers, until the mixture resembles a coarse meal. Mix egg yolk with water and then pour into flour mixture. Work together until it’s a cohesive ball. Wrap in wax paper and press into flat disk. Chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes.

Filling:
Preheat oven to 400 F.
Take out peas and allow to defrost. Par boil the yams. Set aside.
In a large skillet, melt butter. Add onion, carrots, and celery. Cook until translucent.
Add turkey and stir. Sprinkle flour over mixture and stir.
Cook over medium heat for a couple of minutes, stirring constantly.
Pour in chicken or turkey broth, stirring constantly. Pour in cream.
Bring to a slow boil and allow mixture to cook and thicken for a few minutes. if it gets too thick add additional broth. 
Add Autumn Harvest Blend and salt and pepper to taste. It is easy to under-season this dish, so add a little extra.
Remove from heat, then add peas and yams, stir to mix. 
Pour mixture into a casserole dish or deep dish pie pan.
On a floured surface, roll out the crust so that it’s about 1 inch larger than the pan you are using.
Place the crust on top of the pot pie mixture, and press crust into the sides of the dish.
​Use fork to poke a few vent holes in crust. 
Bake for 30-40 minutes or until crust is golden brown, and filling is bubbling.
