  Do you mix the turkey, cream and cranberry then put it in or layer each? Thanks!

  I made this recipe today. Had slightly less turkey & pastry than the recipe says, so made smaller pies, & it worked out fine (think their pie tin holes are bigger!). I just put the turkey in first, then a dollop of creme fraiche, then a dollop of lingonberry jam (I'm in Sweden & it is so similar to cranberry sauce, which I didn't have). Oh, & I also added a little dried tarragon. I cooked them for a few minutes less because of being smaller. They turned out great & are yummy-I've eaten 3 already LOL

  Buy a bigger turkey on purpose these are delish lol. Mite try with stuffing as well and see how they turn out, or maybe with bacon or something for a buffet.

  wasn't sure about this one, the cranberry and cream mix just didn't seem right together which is a shame as I love all the ingredients separately lol maybe its because I used double cream not creme fraiche it was too 'puddingy'

  These always go down a treat in our house. I use turkey or chicken and add crispy bacon or left over gammon ham to them. We have them all year round with sauteed potatoes and salad. Lovely!

  I think my pastry is a little thick but the results are still delicious. I threw in some stuffing and a bit of extra safe. Fabulous! Will definitely make again.

  I used a puff pastry sheet cut into squares, then spread a little cranberry over half of the squares, layered the turkey, cranberry and creme fraiche then covered with non-cranberried pastry squares and crimped around the edges. Really nice, quick and easy- but a little too sweet for my partner.

  Everyone loved these! I used puff pastry as I prefer it, & went for creme fraiche rather than double cream - think that would be too sweet as emma said. I also added some fried bacon lardons to top them off, so delicious! I just layered all the ingredients; the creme fraiche & cranberry soaked through the turkey during cooking. Have made these twice so far & still have a fair amount of turkey so think I will make as many as my freezer can take!
