Christmas Dinner Pie Recipe

For a tasty spin on a traditional Christmas dinner recipe, and for those who love pies, give my Christmas dinner pie recipe a go. It’s made with pork sausages, bacon and turkey.

1. Chop the sausages into chunks and the bacon into small pieces.
2. Heat some oil in a large non-stick saucepan and fry the sausage, bacon and turkey for 5-10 minutes (until the turkey is white on the outside).
3. Peel and chop the parsnip and add to the pan, along with the flour. Stir the flour into the juices.
4. Add the gravy powder, crumble in the stock cube, and pour in some boiling water until the contents of the pan are 2/3 covered.
5. Season well, give everything a stir and leave to simmer for 30 minutes, or until the sauce has thickened.
6. Roll out some pastry (approx 3-5mm thick) then line the inside of a pie dish with it.
7. When it’s ready, carefully place the pie filling from the saucepan into the pie and trim off any excess pastry.
8. With the excess, roll out a lid for the pie, using an egg wash to stick it down.
9. Again, trim off any excess and pierce a couple of holes in the top to let out any steam.
10. Brush egg wash on top of the pie then bake in an oven preheated to 180c/350f for 30-40 minutes, or until golden.
11. When cooked, serve straight away with your favourite trimmings and enjoy.
