turkey and sweet leek pie

Can this be made with uncooked frozen turkey breasts?

Just used the leek and bacon step to make a potato and leek soup. really, really good...

Tried this pie a couple of years ago, then forgot how to do it. Thank goodness I have found the recipe again,it is one of the best I have ever made Thanks Jamie your a star.

In case the 236 responses leave ANY doubt...this is a magnificent pie. Simply perfect for a wet windy Vancouver night. Our leftover turkey was screaming for love and love it found! Wouldn't change a thing except maybe to add more flour and stock (made homemade turkey stock...yummmm...ps - if you have never done this - you HAVE to - turkey stock is the reason I buy a nice fat organic juicy lovely...ok ok...) I would add more only to have a bit more gravy - as it was orgasmic. I used maple pepper smoked bacon - being Canadian and all....and it added a nice smoky flavour. PERFECT. Will make this for a dinner party and pretend that I had to sweat. Thank you Jamie - once again you have made me a rock star. All the best in 2012. SO deserved. <br />

My husband and I made this together yesterday. Awesome!! Only problem was that hubby liked it sooo much it didn't serve 6-8 people as he ate most of it!!

I made this pie last night using our left overs and it was awesome! what a brilliant idea to put chestnuts and sage in between the pastry topping. It was so scrummy and everyone loved it - thanks Jamie!

i made this last year and it went down treat even with my fussy brother. before i even had the chance to suggest it again it this year my dad informed me he had bought puff pastry to make the pie on boxing day. very tasy, thanks jamie :)

Made just the filling with no chestnuts, but added left over sweet potato and turnip casserole from cookinglight. Also substituted Greek Yogurt for the creme fraiche. DELICIOUS. Ate it straight from the skillet, no baking. Will definitely make again with left over roast chicken.

Can i make the pie ahead and put it in the fridge and bake it later at dinner time? Thanks

I made this last night. The only changes I made were that, since I only had 1/2 a box of puff pastry, I chopped the chestnuts and mixed them in with the leeks and turkey, and baked it for only about 25 minutes. It was FAB! My husband wants to know when I'm making it again (after he ate 1/2 the the leftovers for breakfast). I want to adopt you Jamie! I'd make a great grandmother!

Made this today for my family of 6 and my brother's family of 4 - it fed us all and the gravy was just the business. My husband was suspicious of gravy with no gravy powder but is now finishing it off with a spoon! Its the first time I have ever cooked a home made pie and am so proud of the results - thanks for the inspiration. We served it with bubble and squeak which is a family favourite. Yum!

I have made this pie every boxing day since I have been married and just ordered the ingredients again for this year,this is one of my hubby's and guests fave dishes-we love J.O's recipes!so simple and very tasty!;0

i changed this recipe to make it vegan by replacing the bacon with pumpkin and the turkey with Fry's vegan chicken nuggets. didn't add the creme fraise and used nuttelex as the butter. also used veggie stock and sweet potato and avocado mash instead of the pastry. was soooooo good! and healthy, and animal friendly <3

I made this pie on boxing day after having watched the christmas special from last year,went down a storm with everyone,even the pickiest of my friends and family.
I made it again today with chicken substituting the turkey and already can't wait for the snow to go so I can start growing my own leeks,just for this pie!
This recipe will live with me for years now
Thanks for this Jamie
Happy new year!!

I am 10 years old I love this pie so much I decided to have a go at making it myself. My dad says his pie is better but I completely disagree.Iif you haven't tried it have a go, it's so simple even a 10 year old can make it (with a little supervision of course).

Totally Yummy and "stick to your ribs" food, I made this for my hubby at Xmas and he now has me making it once a month - keep em coming Jamie.

Jamie your the people's fav cook mate, this is such a fantastic pie, keep going we want more!!!

Waitrose sells bottled chestnuts, well the one in Southend had plenty of them the otherday when I made the pie for the second time. I also like plenty of pastry so make that and the steak and guiness pie with a base which makes it nicer when you have it cold as its easier to remove from the pie dish.

Well what can I say Jamie, absolutely delicious! This dish is always a big hit with my Husband and kids. I have made it several times since Christmas and it's really easy to make!

My wife has cooked this 5 times since Christmas and its just fantastic everytime.
My children leave empty plates, what a winner.
Only problem today was we tried Tesco and Sainsburys for the Chestnuts and neither had any in stock, the answer was its only a seasonal stock item.
Its such a shame because the chestnuts in the pastry are just fantastic.

Jamie Jamie Jamie you excellyourself everytime as a beginner in the kitchen this pie iis perfect and it tastes just as good WELL DONE please more more more of these recepies thats also what the kids say after eating this youve did it again xxxx Lynn xxx

Just made it again tonight - subsituted chicken for turkey. It's great every time, the use of the drained sauce is just inspired!

Is it really meant to be 2kg of leeks, or is it a typo - just 2 leeks seems more appropriate.

This goes down fantastically. My wife and kids keep buying the ingredients then telling me to do it again. I have done it four times since boxing day.

It also goes down well substituting chicken.

If you haven't tried it with stuffing do so...it's even worth making fresh stuffing in advance if you haven't got any leftovers.

enjoy ;)

thanks Jamie!

One of the best dishes I have made, leaves a fantastic impression on guests (especially mother in-laws ;) .. highly recommended

This about the 4th time I have made pie and have changed the ingredients to whatever I have, today left over baked ham leeks and mushrooms, its delicious again, best pie ever

Wow!! Cooked this dish at christmas and went down a treat with my family. (Especially me!!) Now i cook it quite regular and im trying lots more of your tasty dishes too!! Love your no nonsence approach and hearty food recipes. My mum not been with us for the last ten years unfortunatley, but to quote her "this lad is one hell of a fantastic cook!!" Thanks and keep up the good work Jamie!!..

Saw you making it over Christmas and thought I would give it a try. All I can say is Bloody great.

The best pie ever! my whole family loved it even my 3 year old son whos can be very fussy at times!

Thisis the third time I have made this dish as we all love it as well as my 6 year old little girl. I have passed the recipe onto loads of other people also. If you have not tried it you must simply delicous. Thanks Jamie another fab recipe. xxx

This really is the best pie I've ever tasted. Made it for a family Sunday lunch & everyone raved about it!

Made the pie bang on too the recipe and mmmmmm pukka.Recipe made a very large pie, though as we all couldn't resist seconds for supper,not much went to waste.Will be making it again with half the ingrediants ample for 4-6 people.

I recently got engaged and had my future in laws over last night and cook the Turkey and Leek pie. The father in law said that if I cooked meals like this every night I would be sure to have a long and happy marriage, after all a way to a mans heart is through his stomach, therefore this is now a favorite recipe of mine!

I made this for our friends here in sunny Florida went down so well making more this weekend,good job Jamie keep the comfort food comming.

This is a fantastic recipe. Don't wait for Christmas, it is well worth making from scratch right now!!

On Sunday I made up a turkey and leek pie which we had for tea last night. Can I just say it was Blooming lovely. My man gave me 8 out of 10, we play this game where we mark each other out of 10 for the meal / recipes tried. I myself think it deserved a 10!
Tonight we are having Jool's stew so will report back tomorrow.

FANTASTIC - had parents over after a walk on the beach with the kids and dogs. Mom said that my Nain (Gran) couldn't have made a better pie.....and she was a great cook!

I substituted the meat for veggie chic( vegetrian chicken substitute strips- from vegetarian world - Bletchely) and missed out any other meat products to make this a vegetarian dish. It was delicious at Xmas, and i have cooked it since.

Jamie it would be good if you could give veggie alternatives in your recipies -it jsut makes sure we do not feel left out and can use some of your great user friendly ideas!

Just about to prepare it again (what's the use of having a great easy recipe and not using it any time you get an excuse?) but am using corn fed free range chicken which tastes fabulous with shortcrust on top instead of puff. Absolutely yummy! Have an idea that it would make fantastic pasties as well ..... will try this next time methinks .....

I love making this pie, I made it the first time over chirstmas for the family although it ended up being the biggest pie I had ever seen. Everyone liked it, even my sisters who dont normally like turkey (but we didnt tell them it was turkey until after they'd eaten it, they've been converted now). Infact my dad liked it so much that he took the huge amount of leftovers to work to brag about his pie then sat in front of all his work mates and devoured the lot. So all in all it went down quite well :)

About to make this pie for the third time - kids love it. First time I used turkey, but last time and this time I am using a tin of ham - still gives a great flavour.

saw this dish being made and wow looked fantastic gonna attempt tommorow with friends and love of my life.

Made this on boxing day and it was great. First pie I ever made that got eaten.
making it again today but with chicken.
lovely and easy

This pie really is superb. I have made it twice now since Christmas for my boyfriend and his brother...they love it and now regulalry want it for a hearty meal. I have been credited with being s domestic goddess...Thank you Jamie X

Saw Jamie cook this on tv, and when he said 'You want some, don't ya?', I thought 'Too right'. I was 60 on 24th Jan, so just the excuse I had been waiting for, to cook this pie for a small gathering of friends and family. I wasn't disappointed, and neither were the guests judging by the empty plates! Everyone agreed it was delicious.
Followed it with Nigella's Ice Cream Cake with the same result.
Now I am inspired to cook a meal for Valentine's night.
Time to search your recipes..............

Cheers Jamie

On the menu for friends again tomorrow - a great pie, comfort in a crust.

Fantastically straightforward recipe. Made this on New Years Day and it was a big hit. A friend of mine was recently having people to dinner and was looking for something she could cook herself (she usually buys in dinner from a local restaurant) so I went over to her place and showed her how to do it - didn't do any of it at all for her - she just asked questions as she went along and managed it brilliantly - trust me - this was a major achievement. She was so pleased with herself it was great. So much so in fact that she's asked me to call up and teach her something else - will have to rummage around your site now for the next lesson :-)

I remembered watching this at Christmas and though i would have a go at the recipie.

You know what its like, the next thing you know its new year!

Anyway i froze the leftover turkey and am going to make this next week, hopefully it will be as good as it sounds.

Absolutely delicious. Made it with left over turkey from Christmas. What a welcome change to turkey currey. Having friends round for dinner on Saturday and this will be on the menu. Done it again Jamie - well done!!!

I cooked this pie just after christmas with leftover turkey, my husband and children adore it and i now have to cook it at least once a fortnight! Ive changed the turkey for chicken now.

Made this last week using left over roast chicken and it was DEVINE! It was a pie for only 2 people so I used half of the leek filling one day and the next I made little pies out of it. Delish!

we all loved the pie that much i've told the recepie to my cousin and my brother in law. she had a taste of some of our leftover pie and loved it. we're having it for our dinner on sunday i think it will be the 3rd time we've had it since watching the show. thank you jamie.

I am not a very good cook to say the leaset but made this today with the left over chicken from yesterdays roast and it is fantastic!!!!!! And really easy to make my son loved it and will def be on the menu again. Felt that confident afterwards I made the ban pancakes and now feeling quite sick as ate too many.

Made this Boxing day with all the leftovers, with my mum order a turkey for 14 people and in the end there only being 3 of us on the day!!! There are only so much turkey sandwiches I can take!!!! This was sensational. I'm not a big fan of sage and tythme but decided to try it anyway, and boy did it taste amazing, though I was even better the next day with the gravy juicies melding together perfectly. Now I'm back at University in student halls of residence i'm attempting to try it again on a smaller scale, and if all goes well serve it up to my flatmates on Sunday.

Wish me luck, Louise x

Jamie, I have just made this pie and I am eating every last mouthful as I type. It is GORGEOUS. I had to tweak it a little with what I had available, I used basil and chives instead of thyme and I added a clove of garlic to the bacon as it was frying. Didnt use chestnuts in the pastry either, I used mustard seeds instead - Perfect I can tell you!

Thanks
Tink x

Hi, Niall from Tuesday 30th, cooked this delicous pie for all of my "outlaws" on New Years Eve, a roaring sucess.... 9 clean plates all around... Still suffering from "Man Flu" probably the worst dose of Man Flu ever witnessed in the West of Ireland....
Thanks again, great recipe
Niall

hi jamie, cooking turkey and leek pie for the second time went down a treat last time couldnt wait to cook it again,recipe easy to follow liked what you did to gennaro with the chili popcorn had me and sue in stitches,
thanks alot
rich and sue

giving the recipe a crack at the moment will post a piccy and the turnout later!

This pie is lovely, i made it after christmas with left over turkey, and have just made another with left over chicken, the kids love it, and its so easy to make, more recipies like that please

Am giving this a bash for supper with some of our american friends - my husband bought a 24lb turkey to feed 10 people on Xmas day and have stacks of the ****** stuff to use up - can't wait to try it! some friends recommended your turkey recipes! thanks for the idea Jamie, am still reliant on you over here too!!

Wicked recipe! Try it with sliced potato (don't take out the gravy) my fussy son can't get enough of this!

Made this with left over xmas ham. It was delicious , went down really well at a family party. Lots of people now going to try it!!!

thought it sounded great so made it on Sat after Xmas and my son had invited two friends round so it went down very well. 800kg of turkey is a load and certainly saw the remains of the turkey off. Only problem was that on TV Jamie had loads of gravy and I only had about two tablespoons! Told a girl at work who had videod it and she watched it and whereas recipe on website says two pints she says on TV he says two liters which would explain it but it was totally gorgeous and I didn't even bother with the chestnuts (don't like them) or the sage. Have put it in my cookery folder together with the fabulous stuffing they taught me on a Le Manoir cookery course!

We herein Australia got the same program, about the same time as England did. friend there made it and said wonderful/ I now have some left over turkey from a thigh roast last night so will do it this evening. Summer here though a cooler day today.. leeks VERY expensive.. so will use onions and sliver beet stalks (swiss chard) from the garden and mushrooms in lieu I think. Have the herbs fresh in the garden but chestnuts are out of my price range too so it might not have those.. a bit of Parmesan cheese maybe instead - goat Parmesan as I have problems with cow cheese and milk but not cream and butter (casein is not in the fat part of dairy). I also need to make my own pastry with spelt flour not wheat.. but still should be easy. My pastry is not as flaky and puffy as bought puff paste but is very nice all the same thanks to Stephanie Alexander. We will have it with the tops of the silver beet and maybe some carrots, and possibly some new potatoes dug yesterday.

i made it it was out of this world, looking forward to making it again.

I have now made the pie for the second time! I This time I have made it with a cooked chicken and it was just as delicious, and have passed the recipe on to all my friends. Thanks Jamie, just love it!

Thanks Jamie it was absolutely fantastic simple filling food loads more recipes just like it please. Simple instructions and simple ingregients fantastic food. Keep up the good work.

Brilliant recipe. Couldn't believe how much my family loved it on Boxing Day. It almost wasn't enough! My 10 year old daughter had 3 helpings. Even my fussy mum loved it so much that she took my copy of the recipe and tried it at home. The pie now features in our weekly family menu but using chicken. Cheers and Happy New Year!

Had this turkey and sweet leek pie at my sister in law's house the other night and it was delicious!!! Thank you...

WOW! I made this with Poulet instead, i chucked in some chunky ham and some left over stuffing..... I did this for a family party about 12 of us and everyone loved it!! Most people had seen it on the show and couldnt wait to have a try, they were not disappointed! Thanks!

Got to give that leek pie a crack tonight,sounds bloody magic will let you know the results.

After watchin Jamie cook this dish just before Christmas it has completely transformed my life! My husband who is no cook apart from his famous chili commented that if he had the mixer and stuff he would love to be able to cook like Jamie. At that time I had not bought him anything for Christmas and had no idea what to get. I went out the next day and bought him Kenwood Mixer and Blender, an apron and other bits and pieces. As I write this comment he is in the kitchen making his SECOND Turkey and Leek pie because the first was so fanstatic. Hence my life is great and he loves to do some of the cooking - a huge thanks to Jamie - Love From Jules in Telford, Shropshire. x

Made the Turkey & Sweet Leek pie on Boxing Day and it was delicious! I found it very simple to make and would also like to try it using chicken or ham!

Made "the pie" over christmas break,absoutley superb!! Your a Legend! xx

Couldn't wait to try this yummy pie after seeing Jamie make it on telly. Served it to a hungry crowd on boxing day and went down without touching the sides. Fab!

First Pie i have ever made, was amazing and pretty easy to cook too....Thanks Jamie

3rd time lucky!!! I have posted 3 times about how good this pie is!!! My frend and I both saw the prog separately and we both enthused about this. She then made it - it was SUPERB!!! Like I said - 3rd time lucky - 3rd time I've posted!!!! Hope it makes it this time xx

this pie was absolutely fantastic, i even amazed myself cos i got it right and everybody loved it so easy to do as well

Had friends over and impressed them with this hearty dish. Will definately make again. Thanks for making me such a popular friend!

Well i watched this on his show one Xmas Eve. Although we'd just got back from a gorgeous meal in a resturant, i could have eaten this immdiately...it looked gorgeous! My husband, Mother-in-law and myself, were all speechless whilst watching him put together this scrummy pie. I have been thinking about it eversince and am now going to Sainsburys to get the ingrediants. Wish me luck!!

I just made this pie, but with chicken - absolutely delicious! Put all of the skin and stuffing in. Probably a little unhealthy, but oh well :) Will definitely make this again. Thanks Jamie!

Buenisimooooooooooooooooooo

Sat 3rd Dec 2009

This is wicked!!! Cooked for friends and my family, Brillant filling tasty meal. Also the gravy taste fantastic to!! Try it you will love it. Yet another of jamies recipes i have cooked and yet again the boy come good !!! Cheers

making this tomorrow - great to hear picky toddlers like it too - not making it with leftovers but with turkey breast hope it will not be too dry!

I cooked this recipe on the 27th Dec and used our left over Gammon as oppossed to Bacon and it was without doubt the best meal of the whole holiday, amazing flavour, now cooking it again with chicken instead of turkey, cant wait!!

my mother maid this with the left over Turkey meat at Christmas. It was a huge success!! Can't wait to have some more left overs to make it again!

We made this with all of the leftover turkey we had at Christmas, and it was absoultely wonderful. We made alot, so we had leftovers the day after and they were excellent, I would highly reccomend this pie.

Yet another successful dinner thank you Jamie. We salivated when we saw you making this on TV and it tastes just as good, even let my parents have some 'cause I made too much.

Wow this pie is just gorgeous, i didn't use chestnuts in the pastry as i don't like them but it was still very delicious. Will definately be passing this recipe on!!

this was easy to make and enjoyable to eat,,, family loved it,,

I don't have any turkey left so I'm going to buy a cooked chook from the supermarket and use roased chicken instead.

Fantastic pie, really easy and absolutely delicious. We bought another turkey just so that we can make it again.

Saw Jamie make this on his Christmas program and thought it would be a good use for all the leftover turkey. What can I say? This dish was absolutely fantastic. Great combination of flavors and the pastry with the chestnuts and sage made a subtle difference that was amazing. Will be making this again!

Did this pie with the left-over turkey, & it was really delicious. I added some mushrooms too! This will definitely be going into the "family favourites" file. Thank you Jamie for such a yummy recipe.

Made this lovely pie after watching the show the other night it was amazing and really easy to make, adding the creme fraise to the stock is genious it tasted so rich . keep up the good work .

Made this pie, it was absolutely delicious, the whole family really enjoyed it, thank you Jamie!

Truly delicious, the boy does it again!!

Was dying to try this recipe from the time I saw it make. Finally made the pie, even bought more turkey as we'd run out of the original bird for the big day. Was gorgeous and easy to make, well worth the effort. I also added a bit of cranberry sauce to my stock and it tasted fab. Thanks Jamie.

made this pie last week and it was gorgeous, family loved it so tried it with salmon yesterday, and it was just as brill, great if you are not a meat eater.

Excellent, also used the leftover pastry from the sausage rolls instead of new which worked well.

I saw this program before Christmas. At the end of each dish - turkey pie, jerk chicken and Genaros pork especially - we were both saying "ah, look at that". The jerk ham with the fantastic coleslaw and the jacket potato - that's real, fantastic food that makes your mouth water and want to get in the kitchen. Anyway, the turkey pie - what a pie. I can't wait to go get my chestnuts and roll them into my pastry - everyone will be very impressed. I think this is some of the best cooking Jamie has done on the television.

My friend and I had this last night - cooked by her, we had both seen the program and thought it sounded really tasty. It was!!! We will have it again, cos there was enough filling left over to freeze and use another time. Thanks Jamie xx

fantastic!!! its a must. very easy and very yummy. its up there with the 5 hour roast lamb and the tray baked pork chops. The best meal i had at christmas

Just made it/eaten it (slightly modified with coriander fresh) and it was delicious - well done Jamie

Saw Jamie do this before Christmas and have been itching to have a go......unfortunately we ate all the Turkey so I am using fresh instead!!!!!
Lets see if it works out.............fingers crossed!!!

Even me who is not a cook made this pie Even her indoors said it was great Cannot wait till next xmas for some more turkey scrapes Best part was the gravy. Well done you

My Mum made this [twice!] after Christmas and it was very tasty. Am wondering if I can make a fishy version...

If my husband had not seen me rewind and freeze Jamie cooking this on TV he would not have believed that I made it, it was very quick and easy but best of all it was lovely. I will certainly not wait until next Xmas to make again.

Just making this now - waiting for the chestnuts as I forgot to roast them earlier - doh! Looks as mouthwatering as the leeks were eyewatering, and can't wait to eat it for tea. What a fab way to end 2008!

Made this pie after Christmas and it was beautiful. I halved the recipe as there was only two of us and added dried Thyme to the pastry as I had used up all my chestnuts in the Christmas stuffing and it tasted wonderful. Would definitely make again and maybe try with the leftover chicken from Sunday roast.

Saw Jamie make this on tv and really fancied it. My friend and I had it last night - she made it! - and it was absolutely superb! We will be trying it again cos we even had left overfilling which is now frozen!

We could'nt get chestnuts so used a mixture from my nut bowl. No fresh thyme to be got so had to use dried and I added a small glass of white wine with the stock. Wow Jamie it's a winner. Thankyou.

This looked fab on TV and it was fab in real life!!!! Our left over turkey has never tasted so good, made it the day after boxing day and everyone loved it. Didn't have enough leeks in the garden but it was still good. The gravy was amazing and a great idea. Have just sat down from eating dinner tonight where I used the last of the turkey and added in the ham we had left over, this time with more leeks and it was just as good, in fact I made two and put one in the freezer!!!!!!!

10/10

Saw Jamie cooking this on TV the other night, it looks delicious. Promised my inlaws I would cook this for them over Xmas and despite me suffering from a very bad dose of "Man Flu" ( not helped by numerous bottles of wine last night )they are not letting me off the hook.
Will let you know what they thought of my "Turkey Pie" in a few days.

Regards
Niall

wow that was a pukka pie,the whole family enjoyed every mouthful. the gravy was to die for.happy new year jamie

Absolutely gorgeous, best dinner I've made in ages. So simple, kids loved it. Only used 1 Kgs of Leeks as thought it looked too much..........

Couldnt wait for this pie after watching Jamie. My wife cooked this and i got to be fair it was most probably the best pie i have ever had!!!!! Have told the wife she could this for her dad who is a chef and he will love it!!!!!

I e-mailed you earlier today, because my son and I had so enjoyed making this recipe together. Unfortunately, I forgot my real reason for contacting you. My son has a serious nut allergy, so I left out the chestnuts, and added a bit more sage to the pastry. Blue Peter always try to give a "nut-free" alternative to their recipes, and because of the very large number of people in Britain with nut allergies, it would be kind if you could find an alternative for them. I am sure it would increase your popularity. It is frustrating to find you can't cook a recipe that you fancy, and there is usually some tasty alternative!

Made this for 12 as Sunday lunch. It was awesome! Actually needed two packs of pastry so sandwiched the chestnuts and sage between them and made sure there was a really thick egg glaze. Delicious.

I saw you make this pie on the Christmas show and decided I would make it, it was fab, really delicious and so easy to make. Thanks Jamie x

Confession Jamie this is my first recipe of yours I've ever coooked! I own your books,loving presents given to me my my sisters over the years...Now living in Texas and missing good english home cooking so last night made this dish, my husband and I loved it, the kids were unsure ("Mum it's got green bits in it!!")
Used Sour cream as Creme Fraiche is impossilbe to get hold of at sort notice.

Tonight I shall be cooking from the Jamies Dinners book! something not to green!
Thanks for changing the way I think about cooking and enjoying my trips to the grocery store, in just one recipe at the age of 36 !!!

Just finished cooking it and it tastes and smells great!!! I substituted the turkey for chicken instead and it all worked out brilliantly. Also, the gravy is the best gravy I have ever tasted!! :D Thanks a lot! Have a great new year everyone!

I loved the look of this sooooo much and so did the family, that I am cooking it for our New Years Eve dinner, which is also my birthday dinner!! Thank you Jamie x

Thank you very much for this delicious recipe. My 12-year-old son, David, and I had a great time making this together last night, and it was FABULOUS! Best wishes for a happy new year!

We tried it this evening,as we're just the 2 of us we cut your recipe down to a 3rd
and we have to say it's in your words "delish".It's gone straight into our recipe
collecti on and it'll be passed around with the people we share our recipe's with.
p.s.there was enough left over for another 2 portions and thats really good value.

HI all
just made this pie it was so easy like most of his recipes and tasted very
good. Happy New Year To all.

Cheers for this Jamie! What a great recipe for Christmas turkey leftovers that people will leave people licking their chops and begging for more! Happy New Year! X

well I did cook it and it was fantastic!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! and in the morning my four children ate what was left and loved it will do this again and again yummmmmmmmmmmmmmm. very nice cold

Lovely idea - what a great way to use up all the Christmas day scraps... I chucked a little extra bacon in the mix - delicious!

First dish I have cooked from scratch in years, seen the tellyshow. First class, wife, kids & me loved it! Nice one...

Used the last of my Christmas turkey and made this after watching Jamie make it on the Christmas show. It was so easy and very tasty. Thanks Jamie x

Watched Jamie making this this the other weekend. It looked scrummy! Now Christmas is over, I have all the ingredients and am making it today .......will let you know the results!!

Tasted very nice, but surely not 2 Kg of leeks.Even 1Kg filled our largest saucepan - before the meat was added.

Cn the show were jamie made this pie.Looked brill, so excited, carnt wait 2 make!!..It's the big day now, hope i can do as well as the man, Jamie..ill have a v gud go!!..Happy New Year 2 every 1!!!..........

I made this dish and I am not sure that the quantities are correct. I used only 1 kg of prepared leeks which was more than enough. Also I reduced the amount of stock to about 1 pint since the gravy was already very watery at that stage. I was unable to find any chestnuts (they are less of a staple here on the west coast of the USA), but the addition of sage to the pastry is brilliant.

As a way of using leftovers this is a good dish - it's much more interesting than a plate of sliced cold turkey, but the asian salad on this site has much more flavour. If you have any leftover turkey then you must make that recipe.

Saw Jaime making this, like everybody else. memorized the recipe, which is easy with most of Jaime's recipes. Made it with roast chicken (which I roasted especially as I had no turkey). Absolutely delicious. I can recommend chicken. Instead of chestnuts which I couldn't find, I used pine nuts which I roasted. Another great alternative:)

Tried my hand at this lovely pie and wasn't disapointed! Aboslutely fantastic!! My partner says it was the best meal I've ever cooked, very proud!!

Tried this today with the left over turkey and ham (instead of bacon), OMG it was excellent!!!!!!! and sooo adaptable. Thanks for another great recipie Jamie, and have passed on to my mum and sister. xx

We made the turkey, roast veg, stuffing and gravy as demonstrated on your Christmas show. It was very well received. Not too many leftovers but made a pot of turkey soup today, mmmmm...

Oh my Goodness, never has left-over turkey tasted so good! This pie is fantastic, and we thought the Oriental crispy turkey was good last night! Two great recipes using turkey that would have gone in a boring sandwich! Well done Jamie.

I made this for my partner and his parents tonight and it went down a treat. They all loved it. It tasted amazing and ill definatly be cooking it again. So pleased as ive never made my own pie before from scratch! Thanks Jamie. :)

Just made this tonight and it rocked! It makes so much that only the second "extra pie" was eaten and I'm an Italian with a HUGE appetite! No complaints though, I'm sure i'll find a home for it :)

made the pie yesterday, it made loads, it tastes fantastic, mmmmmmmm.

This pie is yummy check it out....



eat your heart out J !!

Glad I had left overs. It was delicious and very easy to make - thank you!

Well boy's and girls i am here to tell you that ,the turkey and leek pie was a totally brill, thanks to the tips i read on the website i.e not a kg of leeks, all the family killed it it one hit, cheers Jamie.

made this pie and it was great.
i didn't have all the ingredients so instead of bacon i used cooked ham, and cream instead of creme fresh and it tasted fantastic.
with the ingredients above it would feed 12 if served with mashed spuds and peas, i halved the ingredients and it was just right for 6 people.
i recon this would taste just as good if you used chicken instead of turkey, O... and the gravy you get from this is just magnifelly scrumshus.
well worth trying.

Jamie is awesome!! just made the sweet leek pie, proof is in the taste =]

wow just made the pie and eaten it .............. so easy and so very tasty I will tell everybody about it xx

Made this last night. Easy to make and tasted great-Just had for Sunday Dinner with Potatoes,Peas and the Gravy from the sauce-Thanks for recipie.

Brilliant Pie. Made it with left over ham rather than turkey, so should have been more careful with the salt. Pie looked exactly like on telly and tasted great, two kgs. of leeks sounds too much but is just right. Guests and Tobydog all agree that this is a great pie. Thanks Jamie.

I made this today, it was lush.

Very delicious Turkey and stuffing - THE PIE WAS AMAZING!!! Thanks for the lush recipes xxx

Just about to put the pastry on the filling and just tasted the filling IT IS SUPERB and I,m now looking to eating it so much !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Liked the look of this the way Jamie used all the leek chopped. I always discard the very green bits, anyway just made the pie with the addition of ham pieces as well as cookedn turkeymeat. Used a bit more pancetta than recipe and it is a fabulous flavorsome pie. Nice bit of instinctive cooking. Thanks Jamie.

Watched it a couple of times before Xmas - now got all the ingredients.... just about to start now!!! I can't wait :o)

just made the leek and turkey pie ,taste fantastic.

i made the meal to the recipie but thought it tasted like crap.

Pie in oven, very easy to make. Will let you know how it turns out but it's looking good.

Watched Jamie's show the other night and now xmas has passed I have been out to buy ingredients. Will be cooking in it in a couple of hours and cant wait to eat it, it looks lovely. Great way to use turkey up, thanks Jamie.

All we could say last night was how lovely this pie was!! Made it yesterday with some left over chicken. The gravy is amazing. What a good idea to put chestnuts in the pastry!! YUMMY YUMMY Thank you Jamie xx

my hubby has been raving about this pie since he watched Jamie cook it.We finally got round to making it today and they are all droooling.

Jamie. As always, simply brilliant , but must advise you of a definite improvement !!!.
I had some ham left over and wasn't looking forward to ham sandwiches until mid January so added it to the mix. Went down a storm.. Wishing you and yours a terrific 2009

Now I've stripped the old bird, sorted the meat for my treats and instead of the old turkey mince and soup this year it's pancakes today and the turkey, ham & leek pie for tomorrow. Fantastic, down to earth, family recipes.
Happy New Year and thank you,Sue

About to make this pie after my daughter text me how proud I should be of her that she has not wasted any meat and just how delicious this pie is. It must be if she says so! She even made bubble and squeak from the left over veg to accompany. Well done Jamie!

awesome flavour; turned out exactly as the recipe stated. Brilliant stuff!!!!!!!!!!

Also saw this on Jamie cooks for christmas show and thought it looked yummy scrumptious so am making it for family and friends who are visiting today....

Got to go my pie is ready!
Thanks Jamie.
Happy new year to all.

Just had this for supper with the last of the turkey, and my husband would have proposed (if we weren't already married). He now wants me to buy another turkey just for the pie. Thanks!

Made this after Christmas and it was A-MAZING. Thanks to your turkey-cooking tips, my (organic, free-range) turkey turned out perfectly, even though it was the first time I ever tried one, and the pie for Boxing Day dinner was brilliant. My family now thinks I am some kind of culinary genius but I had to 'fess up that Jamie deserved at least half the credit.

Saw this recipe on TV the other night looked great so I'm making it at the moment, we can't wait to eat it..yummy, have to use walnuts instead of chestnuts, hope it's as good.

Cooked my frozen Christmas turkey the Jamie way and had one of the best turkeys ever - realy moist and succulent. Thank you, Jamie! Am now looking forward to making the turkey and leek pie. Happy New Year to everyone!

Gave my granddaughter a Jamie'sa Ministry of Food cookbook for Christmas and she is delighted with it.

Jamie's Christmas episode aired in Australia on Christmas Eve & has inspired both my partner & myself to host a Jamie Oliver Christmas for our families next year! So many fabulous recipes! Any chance you'll be releasing a Christmas recipe book before Christmas 2009???!!!

just made the turkey and leek pie with my left overs..very easy to make and its tastes great...yum! great recipe!would definately make it again.

I'm going to make this recipe tonight after x-mas we have some turkey left over & watched Jamie cook this the other night & both my husband & my mouths were watering by the end of the segment....can't wait to make it! Bet it tastes as good as it looks!

What a recipe!! Simple and easy yet soooo tasty.
Who ate all the pies? Sorry, it was me I'm afraid...

Really lovely pie. Swapped bacon for diced pancetta and gammon - made it it tastier and gave it a chunkier texture. Didn't really notice the chesnuts in the pastry though.

hiya
Me and my dad watched your program and saw you making your turkey and sweet leek pie. So we decided to make it for tea it went really well and i enjoyed it.
thanks will carry on watching

Turned out a treat! So tasty & simple. Thank you Jamie!

I made this pie today (27th Dec), it was beautiful...I mean seriously amazing, with some left over for tomorrow. It's now 3 hours later and we are all still groaning about how full we feel.

I added some mushrooms to mine, just as I had loads of them left over too, and a generous amount of red wine in the gravy, couldn't let it go to waste now!

Delicious pie Jamie! Unfortunately dad's in A&E due to a turkey bone stuck in his throat but other than that 5 out of 5!

Great pie. However, all supermarkets were out of chestnuts this weekend so substituted pistachios, worked a treat.

Literally just finished eating this. Awesome. Determined this will be a regular post-Christmas fixture henceforth :)

Made the smashing pie for my family today-even my 22 month grandson James cleared his plate! Husband and son were skeptical of so many leeks but were easily won over! Thanks you!

Made this for my wife & son tonight...and we loved it! BRILLIANT "Good strong food!" First pie I've ever made too!
Can't wait to try it cold tomorrow!
Dan

Cooked this pie for our family on boxing day - WOW!
Easy to cook and the best pie we have ever tasted, please make it and see for yourself.
We only used half the amount of leaks and turkey etc, but is was more than ample for four.
Good work Jamie fellow!

Made this pie with left overs, and instead of using bacon used the left over ham, was lovely, thanks!!! was fed up of doing turkey curry!!

Superb Mister Ollie. The left-overs are better than the Christmas day nosh!!

I loved watching you make this pie, it looks so tasty! so im cooking it tomorrow for me and my partners family, like 'Come Dine With Me' style so wish me luck! :D

watched it, made it, delicious! Thanks x

I am soooooooooooooooooooo excited to cook this dish can't wait cooking it for freinds and am sure it will go down a treat!

I cannot wait to make this for my son and his girlfriend! What a delicious receipe! Come on Mum Hurry up im starving! Good Old Jamie! x

this recipe makes my mouth water everytime i see it, hopefully it'll taste as nice as it sounds. It's a dead east recipe too, I'm gonna test it out tonight!!!

I have just made it. Easy peasy lemon squeezy. Thanks Jamie - was even enough to take to my mum's - she is well impressed. Have varied it a little by making my own shortcrust.... but still looks dead nice and my house smells wonderful. :)

Have just made this, and it is just about to go into the oven. I have to say it looks exactly like it did when Jamie made it, so I am WELL chuffed!! Can't wiat to eat it....

I cooked this last night and it was just wonderful!

Wow. Just wow. I think that cooking leftovers is even better than the original feast. More relaxed, more inventive and much more fun to eat.. I was feeding four 10yr old boys for dinner tonight and this recipe got seconds from all of them. My favorite part was keeping aside some of the sauce for a gravy to pour over after... I'm going to try that with more of my pies, it is just delish!

Halfway through making the pie - not sure the filling will last until the pastry is ready as I keep eating it! The gravy tastes like soup, I could eat that on its own!
Another great recipe - thankx xx

Made it yesterday..delicious. The best use of left over turkey ever!

Loved, loved, loved Jamie's Christmas show, fabulous ideas and no nonsense cooking, can't wait to cook this pie for family and friends! I am planning on making a few as what else can you do with a half eaten 20lb bird!!! Off to my local village market to get chesnuts and sage this morning so I can get them on the go....

dude your awesome.my misses is gonna marry me after this pie tonight.keep it up mate you make cooking fun and any recipe you do i could eat every one of them and i think that would be said by the majority of the brittish public!merry xmas dude

I have just popped this in the oven for tonight and already I am in love! Fantastic easy recipe!

..absolutely delicious! Made it yesterday and it was enjoyed more than the turkey itself on Christmas Day!...to do again...and the leftovers of the pie are in the freezer!

Also saw Jamster makin da pie..... thought mmmm looks good. Got so much turkey here, hooray talked da missus into it for tea 2moz. Will let ya know result. XXX

I, Shelagh, very much enjoyed making this pie for my family. It was great fun, I even put some music on while i cooked and had a little dance around! And I didn't forget to leave some at my shrine to Jamie! I sat through the whole of Christmas day just WAITING to make this pie. And it was worth it! Love you JAMIEBOY xxxxxx

Have to be honest, don't like watching too many cook shows but when i seen you make this, thought it would provide a good boxing day feast.....and so it did.

Dad just made this with the leftovers oh ny god how good is this pie, highly recomended by the whole family. A good pie isnt just for christmas, would work equaly good with cooked chicken, and i belive this will be making a welcome return to our table in the near future.

It looked delicious on program we have friends coming over so making the pie at this very minute....will write another comment once we've eaten.....

I really love the show Jamie, you are great, I can't wait to cook the sweet leak and turkey pie.
Keep up the good work Jamie, I think you are gorgeous, love to Jules and your 'girls' I think you are a lovey family.
Love Lin xxxxx

HI THERE,JUST TO LET YOU KNOW THAT WE ARE OFF TO BUY SOME PUFF PASTRY AND ARE GONNA HAVE A GO AT MAKING YOUR SWEET LEEK AND TURKEY PIE.WATCHED YOU XMAS SHOW A COUPLE OF TIMES AND OUR MOUTHS ARE STILL WATERING.MMMMM.MANY THANKS

We went to our friends house for lunch last Sunday and they cooked your pie. I have to say it's the best pie I've ever eaten. I'm going to cook it myself on New Year's Day instead of the usual turkey. Well done Jamie, you're a star. xx

Having guests round this weekend and this is what I'm making! Only mananged to catch the end of this shown on TV but looked so scrummy and simple to make I had to look it up. Thanks Jamie for de-stressing me yet again. Merry Xmas to all xx

We watched the "Jamie Cooks Christmas" show on Christmas Eve in Melbourne, Australia. Everything looked very good until you got to the 'Turkey and Sweet Leek Pie'...and that looked outstanding! We tried it today, Boxing Day, with the leftover turkey. It tasted even better than it looked on TV. This is going to be a keeper for a long to time to come. My family says it is tradition from here on in; we may have to skip the roast turkey and move right to the pie! Thanks, Jamie. This one is a real winner. It was delicious!

Just printed out the menu, looking forward to trying it out on boxing day !!

jamie this pie looks really nice dude and im going to make it boxing day,just hope it turns out as good as yours mate,happy new year to you and your family.

Hi jamie, im gona have a go today cant wait any longer its been on me and my wifes mind since we saw it on tv the other day! Happy New Year.

Christmas day almost over and getting very excited about cooking my turkey and leek pie. Looks delicious.

Watched Jamie's Xmas cook in last night after just gettin home after a major operation. I won't be able to cook this year, but every one of the recipes on the show last night made my mouth water. Will/are these recipes in any of Jamie' books? I would love to cook them all next Christmas!

i love leeks i have got a alotment full of leeks lovley jamie and you went nise and slow so us beginers cuold catch on thanks

I've been given my orders to cook this and the leftover Christmas Pud by my 15 year old son who only a year ago would have thought I was trying to poison him if I dished it up. But thanks to being inspired to grow my own veg after demanding your book for Christmas last year my son helped grow them and is now happy to eat them. I would like to say a BIG THANK YOU from my family and I for reinventing food and cooking in our house and no longer having to cook those awful nuggetty things. You really have had an enormous influence over his eating habits which I couldn't get through to him and I am truly grateful. Merry Christmas to You and Your Family.

Have had to go and buy some leeks! Just hope there's some turkey left tomorrow now.

What a fab cookery show Jamie, i have got three of your recipes to make over christmas the family will be more than surprised and we are all from Rotherham and yes i can cook!!! Have a good christmas to you all xx

Saw this on TV and it made me want it immediately, cooked it 3 days later and it was the ultimate scrumptious amazingly fantastic pie...... Cant wait till i don't feel so full so I can finish it off!!!!
Thanks a million Jamie!!!!

looking forward to trying a veggie version of this using quorn pieces instead of turkey and either veggie bacon or just leave that out. something different for those who don't want the roast beef on boxing day.
