Family adores Marie Calendar’s Turkey Pot Pies - this was so much better!I used the same quantities of ingredients but replaced the green beans with diced potatoes that I boiled with the celery, carrots and peas. I have this yummy spice blend from Trader Joe’s called Everything But the Leftovers so I replaced the celery seed, onion powder and Italian seasoning with like amounts of that. Butter was salted so I omitted that. I doubled the black pepper cause we like it that way. For turkey I cut up one of those whole turkey breasts from Costco. Into bite sized cubes.My daughter made her first butter crust using a food processor recipe. We replaced a tablespoon of the water with vodka.As you can see, tender flaky crust and a solid filling! I might double the sauce next time to have extra to pour over.This amount completely filled my deep dish Pyrex and required two crusts. I also added 15 minutes covered at 375 to the cooking time cause it wasn’t bubbling - well, it’s fairly solid so that’s probably why. It didn’t seem to suffer for the extra time.
I am gluten free and vegan due to many food allergies. This is the most “brownie” like brownie that I’ve made to date! It puffed up - didn’t collapse or turn to oily mush like gf mixes or scratch recipes usually do when you omit the eggs and replace with flax eggs or applesauce. So simple too. I replaced the water with freshly brewed hot coffee. I used Krusteaz Gluten Free Brownie mix which already has some chips in it, a cup of Enjoy Life mini choc chips and Bush’s low sodium black beans drained and rinsed well. I was so skeptical smelling the beans in the strainer! I blended the beans and half the chips and coffee in my Ninja processor. Until it was smooth and I couldn’t really taste the beans anymore. Then I added the brownie mix in two batches, adding the remaining coffee and chips at the end. It made 18 individual treats in my muffin tins which I lightly greased with light olive oil. I topped them with chopped pecans. They baked for 25 mins at 350 and rested for 30 mins before I took this picture. Popped right out with a silicone spatula! Thank you for a great recipe to be inspired by. This will be my new go to! Btw my son does the “gag reflex” thing if beans come anywhere near his food. He has no idea he ate them. Thought these brownies were delicious.
