  Torta de Pavo – Turkey Pie

  Posted by wally in Blog , Food , New York , Recipes , savory , Savory 0

  

  What’s in da Fridge……TURKEY TORTA….

  Well alright, it is a meat pie. Something like that.

  Two days I made two stuffed turkey breast with asparagus, sundried tomatoes, tartufelle cheese (basically a provolone aged with truffles).

  This is a really easy dish.

  • Two 9” pie crust. (yeah too lazy to make pie crust. Not that good yet).
  • Basil
  • 6 six eggs
  • ¼ lb of cheese
  • Head of Broccoli
  • Two tomatoes
  • ¼ lb queso fresco
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • Garlic
  • Olive oil
  • Salt / Pepper to taste

  Preheat oven to 325.

  Here is when my best friend comes in to play – Food Processor.

  Cut up your meat (not to wreck your processor). Slow add the turkey with the stuffing. Add in the garlic, eggs, olive oil, basil, cheese!

  Pour into a bowl. Check to make sure everything was processed. It should be a creamy consistency. Use the heavy cream to smooth it out.

  Now…chop the head of broccoli. You really only want the florets. Line the bottom of the pie crust pan with the florets. Now pour in your mixture. Smooth out. Cover sparsely with some more florets.

  Take your tomatoes slice and de-seed. Chop finely and integrate the queso fresco. This is your last topping for the torta. Place on top.

  Top with a little Olive oil.

  Ready for the Oven. You are going to need 30-45 minutes at 325. You just want to make sure that it is cooked all the way thru. Should have the consistency of a cheesecake.

  Thursday just got home from work…a little early. I need to fix something for the little ladies (yeah that’s right. I cook and what!!). You know being an Everydayguy is not always easy. Sometimes you have to do things you don’t feel like doing ..Just so happens – I love to cook.

  So what is on the menu today.

  Something simple but delicious. We got to do it the Everyday guy way.

  Stopped at the supermarket before I came home ….just for back up. The rest is from the fridge and the garden. (It helps to always buy some extra things from the supermarket.)
