French Canadian Tourtieres Recipe

I had to save this dinner Julie sent me because it was soooo good and was so different than what I usually make. I want to make it again sometime. She said that she cut the recipe in half so it made two pies and used a pound of ground turkey, one pound of ground beef, and one pound of pork instead of the meat that was called for in the recipe.

TOTAL TIME: Prep: 45 min. Bake: 40 min.

MAKES:32 servings

Ingredients

• 4 celery ribs
• 4 medium carrots
• 2 large onions
• 2 garlic cloves, peeled
• 4 pounds ground pork
• 2 pounds ground veal
• 2 pounds bulk Jimmy Dean® Premium Pork Sausage Roll
• 1 can (14-1/2 ounces) chicken broth
• 1/2 cup minced fresh parsley
• 1 tablespoon salt
• 1 teaspoon pepper
• 1 teaspoon dried basil
• 1 teaspoon dried rosemary, crushed
• 1 teaspoon cayenne pepper
• 1 teaspoon ground mace
• 1 teaspoon ground cloves
• 1 cup dry bread crumbs
• Pastry for four double-crust pies (9 inches)

Directions

1. Coarsely chop the celery, carrots and onions; place in a food processor with garlic. Cover and process until finely chopped; set aside.
2. In a stockpot or two Dutch ovens, cook vegetables, pork, veal and sausage until meat is no longer pink; drain. Stir in broth, parsley and seasonings. Reduce heat; cover and cook on low 20 minutes. Stir in bread crumbs.
3. Preheat oven to 400°. Line four 9-in. pie plates with bottom crusts; trim pastry even with edges. Fill each with about 4 cups filling. Roll out remaining pastry to fit tops of pies; place over filling. Trim, seal and flute edges. Cut slits in pastry. 
4. Cover edges of remaining pies loosely with foil. Bake at for 25 minutes. Reduce heat to 350°; remove foil and bake 15-20 minutes longer or until crusts are golden brown. 
   Freeze option: Cover and freeze unbaked pies. To use, remove from freezer 30 minutes before baking (do not thaw). Preheat oven to 400°. Place pie on a baking sheet; cover edge loosely with foil. Bake 25 minutes. Reduce heat to 350° remove foil and bake 50-60 minutes longer or until crusts are golden brown and a thermometer inserted in center reads 165°. Yield: 4 pies (8 servings each).
