Serves: 4 servings
Ingredients
  • 2 tablespoons dairy-free buttery spread or olive oil
  • 1 sweet white onion or yellow onion, chopped
  • 2 celery ribs, diced
  • 3 carrots, diced
  • ¼ cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 tablespoons fresh tarragon, chopped (see Herb Options below)
  • 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped (see Herb Options below)
  • 4 cups turkey stock, chicken stock, or broth (see Leftover Gravy Option below)
  • 3 cups cooked, shredded turkey or chicken
  • 2 potatoes, peeled and diced
  • ½ cup green peas
  • Salt, to taste
  • Black pepper, to taste
  • 1 square prepared puff pastry, cut into 4 squares
  • 1 egg, beaten or 2 tablespoons dairy-free milk beverage
Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F.
  2. Heat the buttery spread or olive oil in a saucepan over medium-low heat. Add the onion and saute for 4 minutes.
  3. Add the celery and carrots, and saute for 4 to 5 minutes.
  4. Add the flour, tarragon, and parsley, and cook for 4 minutes.
  5. Slowly whisk in the stock or broth to keep it smooth.
  6. Add the turkey or chicken and potatoes, and simmer until the potatoes are fork tender and the sauce is thickened.
  7. Stir in the peas, and season with salt and pepper, to taste.
  8. Divide the filling between four large (12-ounce) ramekins or oven-safe soup bowls. Top each with one pastry sheet square to cover. Brush the pastry with the egg or milk beverage. Cut two slits in the top to allow steam to escape.
  9. Bake the mini pot pies for about 20 to 25 minutes minutes, or until the crust is golden brown.
Notes
Herb Options: I you don't have any fresh herbs on hand, you can use 1 tablespoon of dried herbs. Don't be afraid to mix things up. Oregano, marjoram, basil, or other herbs are delicious with this recipe.
Leftover Gravy Option: You can substitute leftover dairy-free gravy for all or part of the stock. Reduce the flour as needed. For example, if you use half gravy and half stock, and your gravy is relatively thick, you can use just 2 tablespoon flour.
