Yield: 6 to 8 servings

Ingredients

  1. 4 links Italian sausage, meat removed from casings
  2. 4 bone-in, skin-on turkey thighs
  3. 2 quarts turkey stock
  4. 4 medium carrots, diced
  5. 3 white onions, diced
  6. 1 celery stalk, diced
  7. 1 head garlic, minced
  8. 1 bunch fresh sage
  9. 1 bunch fresh thyme
  10. Salt and freshly ground black pepper
  11. 20 medium Yukon gold potatoes
  12. 2 cups grated Gruyere
  13. 1 stick (8 tablespoons) unsalted butter
  14. 1 baguette, thinly sliced

Instructions

  1. Brown the Italian sausage in a large pot over medium-high heat, then remove and reserve. Sear the turkey in the pot until golden brown on both sides, then add the stock, carrots, onions, celery, garlic, sage and thyme. Bring to a boil, then lower to a simmer and cook, uncovered, until the turkey is cooked through and the vegetables are tender, 1 hour 15 minutes to 1 hour 30 minutes. Take the turkey out of the pot and allow to cool slightly.
  2. Remove the meat from the bones, then chop into bite-sized pieces. Continue to cook the remaining liquid until further reduced. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Place the turkey, sausage, vegetables and reduced stock in 9-by-13-inch casserole dish.
  3. Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
  4. Fill a large pot with water and boil the potatoes until tender. Crush them with a potato masher, then add the cheese and butter. Place on top of the turkey and vegetable mixture and bake until the casserole is warm throughout and the potatoes have become slightly golden on top, about 30 minutes.
  5. Serve with the baguette.

This is an excellent recipe. I’ve made it twice (we had a ton of leftover turkey at Christmas). The filling also works well in puffed pastry as a British/Australian style pastie! Marc does mention on the show that he used Conyac but that’s not in the recipe here. I might experiment with the Conyac addition next time.

Fabulous, broth is so flavorful. I used dried herbs and leftover cooked turkey. Will definitely make this again.
