Prep Time 15 min
Cook Time 35 min
Ingredients:
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 2 tbsp unsalted butter
- 2 large carrots, diced
- 2 stalks of celery, diced
- 3 small shallots, thinly sliced
- 3 cloves of garlic, roughly chopped
- 2 springs fresh thyme
- 6-8 sage leaves
- 2 tbsp flour
- 1 1/4 cup chicken or vegetable broth
- 1 cup shredded roasted turkey
- 1 1/2 tsp kosher salt
- 1/2 tsp cracked black pepper
- 1 pkg Sylvia's Cornbread Mix
- 1/3 cup milk
- 1 egg
Instructions:
- Preheat oven to 400° F.
- Heat olive oil and butter and a 10" cast iron skillet over medium heat. When the butter is melted and oil is hot, add the diced carrots and celery along with 1/2 tsp kosher salt. Cook for 6–8 minutes, stirring occasionally, until vegetables begin to soften.
- Stir in the shallots and garlic and continue to cook for 5 minutes more, until the shallots are softened and the mixture is fragrant. Stir in the fresh herbs and another 1/2 tsp of salt.
- In the flour and cook for one Dash two minutes. While continuing to stir, stream in the broth. Bring to a simmer and cook for 2–3 minutes until the sauce has thickened slightly. Add the turkey, remaining 1/2 tsp salt, and pepper.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the egg and milk. Add Sylvia's Cornbread Mix and whisk until smooth. Pour the cornbread batter over top of the filling and bake for 15-20 minutes, until the cornbread is deeply golden brown and the filling is bubbling. Let cool slightly in the pan before serving.
