Tourtiere: Canadian Meat Pie Recipe (2024)

FAQs

What is tourtière pie made of? ›

The tourtières of the Saguenay-Lac-Saint-Jean area and Eastern Quebec are slow-cooked deep-dish meat pies made with potatoes and various meats (often including wild game or turkey) cut into small cubes.

As the breadcrumbs and the broth help add moisture to this recipe, added fat is an unwanted quantity that tends to make the tourtiere fall apart when cutting and also is just not very pleasant.

To warm, place on a baking sheet in a preheated oven at 350°F. Bake a 9” pie for 45 minutes, a 5” pie for 25-30 minutes, and a hand pie for 15 minutes. If your Tourtiere is frozen, please store in the freezer until you are ready to bake and consume. For best results, the pie should be baked within 3 months of purchase.

Traditionally, Tourtière is served with roasted vegetables or a light frisseé salad. An assortment of pickled foods is always delicious; pickled beets, spicy carrots, gherkins or pickled onions. Many enjoy a tomato-based chutney but most… just break out the ketchup.

Historical records of Quebec tourtière, which was likely named for the copper and tin pans the pies are baked in, date back to the 17th century. But hearty pies of the sort have been around for as long as humans have thought to combine pastry with meat.

You want the pastry golden, but if it starts to get too brown, cover with foil. To freeze, cool the pies completely. Wrap them in plastic wrap tightly, then in foil. The pies will keep for two days in the fridge or up to three months in the freezer.

Overworking the dough: One of the most common mistakes when making pie crust is overworking the dough. When you handle the dough too much, it can develop too much gluten, which can make the crust tough. To avoid this, handle the dough as little as possible and stop mixing as soon as the dough comes together.

This pie freezes well, either before or after baking. Either way, thaw it overnight in the refrigerator before baking or rewarming. Some tourtière makers substitute chicken broth for the water/potato water in the filling. if that's your preference, reduce the salt in the filling accordingly.

Reheat should be done as quickly as possible. Use a 425° oven preheated, and check after 6–8 minutes for an internal temperature of 165°. Once it reaches that temperature, you are finished.

Heating Fully Baked Pies:

Pre-heat your oven to 350 degrees. Put the pie, turnovers, or pastry on a cookie sheet on foil or parchment, and lightly cover with foil. For a 9-inch pie, heat for 15-20 minutes. A 5-inch pie will take about 12-15 minutes and turnovers will take about 10-12 minutes.
