Delicious, the herbs and wine bring so much flavor and the puff pastry is perfect for a crust
Bernard from Los Banos, CA: Excellent and delicious as a comfort food – added 1/2 tsp. of thyme to recipe. Yummy!!
Very tastey recipe. I think poultry & terrigon really compliment eachother. I used turkey (one leg & 1/4 breast. Also, I modified the recipe to be kosher. No milk or butter, just turkey stock and margerine. I was apprehensive- but the dish came out great! No dairy needed 😀
After many reviews mentioned a soupy filling; so I mixed a rue and added stock sepertaely from the veggies & meat then mixed together after it thickened.

INSANE!
I buy 2 Rotisserie Chickens, shred all meat, I boil the rest of carcass, fat, skin & bones
in large stock pot of H2o, if you have any canned chicken stock or broth left in fridge add that, BUT MOSTLY WATER! add a onion cut into 1/4, celery(if u hv, bay leaf, lil salt, pepper & cpl of carrots, boil for close to 2 hours! THE BEST CHICKEN STOCK YOU’VE EVER HAD… when it cools freeze stock in lg. freezer bags & now you can make some amazing soups!
BTW, I BLANCH CARROTS & POTATOES IN SAME STOCK WATER, THEN ABOUT 1/2 WAY THROUGH, I SIFT OUT potatoes & carrots, cut up and add to the mixture! Way more flavorful!
white wine you would normally drink & a sm. bag of peas
add, 3 tbsp. flour,
1-3 tsp salt(sea salt,
2 C milk
1 1/3 C hvy cream.
A wee bit more tarragon for sweetness.
Taste it to see if it needs more salt b4 you add mixture to baking dish!
Puff pastry is the BEST!
Make sure you use the largest pan you have to cook all ingredients, you’ll need it!

I love the concept of this using a puff pastry; however, I have tried this twice and it comes out really milky. I think instead of milk next time I might try half and half or heavy cream.
Absolutely delicious!
One of our favorites. Their entire cookbook is worth buying.
My family really enjoyed this! Someone should make a couple of changes to the posted recipe: The cookbook specifies *2 teaspoons* of SALT and *3 tablespoons* of FLOUR. One last thought, I think the sweetness that people are noting is partly the result of the tarragon–and I confess, I loved it!
I used a smoked chicken for this and it was great.
So delicious! I finally found my pop pie recipe :
