• Preheat the oven to 350°F. Brush the bottom and sides of a 13 x 9 inch baking dish with butter or spray with cooking spray.
• Make the Filling – You can use a Dutch oven or a deep large skillet to cook the diced onion and celery for 2 minutes or just until they begin to soften and brown. (Using a large pot will double as a mixing bowl.)
• Add the potatoes, cooking for 5-7 minutes. Test the potatoes with the tip of a knife or a fork cooking until they’re tender.
• Add the minced garlic, cooking just until fragrant. Garlic can burn so it’s not necessary to take more time for it to infuse the onion.
• To the Dutch oven add the seasonings – Poultry seasoning, salt, black pepper and tarragon. Mix well. (Using a large pot will double as a mixing bowl.)
• Make the Sauce – In a separate medium saucepan add the reserved 6 tablespoons of butter. Melt then add flour, salt and black pepper. Whisk until the butter is absorbed, then gradually whisk in chicken stock. Bring it to a gentle boil then immediately lower the heat and allow the sauce to gently bubble for 4-5 minutes to cook out the flour taste.
• Add Cream – Whisk in the cream then add the shredded cheese. Stir until completely melted then remove from the heat.
• To the Dutch oven add turkey, thawed vegetables, cheese sauce and fresh parsley. Mix everything together then pour the mixture into the prepared baking dish.
• Prepare Puff Pastry – Thaw puff pastry per package instructions, then roll out on a lightly floured surface around 2 inches larger than the dish. Transfer the puff pastry to the dish, rolling edge to form a crust. Use a sharp knife to cut 1-2 inch slits in the top to vent and brush with egg wash and lightly sprinkle with sea salt.
• Bake per the recipe until puffed and golden. Let it stand on the counter for 5-10 minutes, then serve.
