Coronation Turkey Pies

Boxing Day Mini Coronation Turkey Pies

These pies are delicious and work so well with leftover Turkey.  Why not use your leftover veggies too?  The perfect Boxing Day snack with something cold.

Makes: 12
Prep time: 25 minutes
Cooking time: 25 minutes
Method: oven & hob
Heat scale: 🌶️

Ingredients:

1 tbsp oil
1 onion, finely chopped
2 heaped tsp Korma (or use any of our blends)
2 tbsp mango chutney
150g cooked turkey, chopped into small pieces
140g soured cream (crème fraiche works too)
500g pack of shortcrust pastry
Salt and pepper
1 egg, beaten

Method:

1. Heat the oil and cook the onion until soft and transulcent.
2. Add a splash of water, stir in the Korma spices and cook for about a minute.
3. Transfer to a bowl and stir in the mango chutney, turkey and soured cream.  Season with salt and pepper.
4. Heat the oven to 200°C (180°C if oven is fan-assisted).
5. Line each hole of a muffin tin with 2 long strips of lightly oiled grease proof paper / baking parchment, in a criss-cross (this helps with removing the pies once cooked).  
6. Roll out the pastry and cut about 3/4 of it into circles big enough to line the muffin holes.  Cut smaller circles for the lids.
7. Fill each hole with turkey filling and top with a lid. Squeeze together the lid and base with your fingers to seal.
8. Brush the tops with some beaten egg and prick small holes in the top to let the steam out whilst cooking.
9. Bake for 20-25 mins, until golden.
