Did someone say Braai Pie? YES, what a brilliant way to use up that leftover turkey & stuffing. For many, Boxing day is a time to enjoy the Summer and braai, so why not use up those leftovers. Shredded turkey, with that sensational stuffing you worked hard to make, with added mushrooms, sauce, and cheese, popped in some pastry and onto the braai; how could you not try this?!
Cooking Methods
- Braai
Prep Time
30 minutesCooking Time
30 minutesIngredients
- 2 x 400g sheets puff pastry, thawed
- 200g leftover turkey meat, skin removed and shredded
- 200g leftover turkey stuffing
- 250g mushrooms, sliced and pan fried
- 30ml (2 Tbsp) thyme, chopped
- 70g dried cranberries.
- 125ml (1/2 cup) BBQ sauce
- 150g mozzarella cheese
- 1 egg, beaten
- Salt and pepper, to taste
Directions
- In a bowl, combine all the ingredients, except the buffalo mozzarella, and mix and season to taste.
- On a floured chopping board, place your first layer of puff pastry and evenly spread your filling onto the pastry sheet, leaving 2-3cm clear around the sides.
- Top the filling with the cheese. Take your second sheet of puff pastry and place on top, folding over excess edges.
- Pinch the pastry closed to ensure the filling does not spill out. Brush with the egg wash.
- Place your chopping board on a braai grid, flip, remove chopping board, brush the other side with egg wash and close the grid.
- Braai on very low heat for about 20-30 minutes and be sure to flip pie continuously to not burn the pastry.
Notes
If Turkey is not your Christmas roast this year, why not try it with the leftover roast that you have? Beef, Pork or Lamb would make an incredibly taste braai pie.
