2 cup turkey, cooked, chopped
10 oz peas
4 oz cheese, cheddar, shredded
1/2 cup bread crumbs
1/4 cup onions, chopped
1/4 tsp salt
1/8 tsp pepper, black
1 cup mayonnaise
1 can crescent dinner rolls
2 tsp seeds, sesame
Directions
Preheat oven to 350. Combine first 8 ingredients; mix well. Spoon
into a 12"x8"x2" baking dish that has been sprayed with nonstick
coating. Separate crescent dough into rectangles; press perforations
to seal. Cut into 4 long strips and 4 short strips. Arrange strips in
lattice design across top of your casserole. Sprinkle with sesame
seeds. Bake 35 minutes. Garnish with radish slices and fresh parsley
sprigs, if desired.
Sylvia's comments: This was a big hit at our house -- only a little
strip was left along one edge of the casserole! I used nonfat
mayonnaise, and bet that nonfat yogurt would work just as well to cut
down on fat. I was out of peas, so used corn. And I used leftover
chicken instead of turkey. Save this one for a neat way to use up
your leftover Thanksgiving turkey.

The History of Recipes
Written recipes as a concept can be tracked far back into history, certainly as far into history as ancient Egypt, and quite possibly further than that. Interesting though that is, generally, these ancient records were just basic pictorial recipes for preparing meals.
As our culinary historical trip moves to more modern times we find a couple of interesting recipe books which appeared in the fourteenth century : a recipe book called `Forme of Cury`, and another titled `Curye on Inglish`. Despite their titles, these two books have no connection with the spicy food that is served today, but instead descriptions of the types of food on the menues of the upper classes of that period. By the arrival of the twentieth century, cook books were in high demand, mostly as a result of increased literacy, more leisure time and being a little richer. |
We hope you enjoy this Lattice Topped Turkey Pie recipe.
