Turkey, Ham and Stuffing Pie

[AuntieDen]

so last year we got one from M&S and my DH loved it.

This year we are at PIL for Christmas, FIL won't like the stuffing and I always leave them with a leftoversturkey and ham pie in the freezer anyway, so that would be a waste of £60 (we can't bring leftovers home)

I thought I might make one for DH for the new year - presumably it
s just a turkey and ham pie with lumps of fairly firm stuffing mixed in? I didn't eat it because I'm pescetarian and didn't look at it too closely, so could anyone who has ever actually eaten or made one tell me a bit more about the stuffing bits? I am wondering if it would be better cooked as balls or fried in cubes to stop it breaking up too much

DH is terrible at questions like that - he's just saying "however you do it it will be lovely" but I can imagine a horrible sludge of sauce and stuffing if it all breaks up in the pie!

I use sausage meat mixed with paxo. I make a layer at the bottom, in a case made of hot water pastry. Then turkey/ham and fill after baking with aspic

We do it every year and it’s highlight although we call it Boxing Day pie! I’ll find the recipe (originally from bbc good food magazine calendar) we freeze it and have though the year and it is such a treat. I always say we should play pie bingo and whoever’s ticks the most things off wins! Pig in blanket, ches nuts sprouts and parsnips! the whole lot

as for stuffing we use the trays of sausage meat stuffing from Aldi and ger a sage and a chestnut and cook it in the oven. I doubt it would be any good with paxo- we usually have paxo with a so I’m not a snob! I’ll find the recipe
