let's start from the puree'. Peel the potatoes and chop them in medium size pieces. If you can, more or less of the same size...they will cook evenly.
-
fill a big pot with water and let it boil. When it is boiling add 1 tablespoon of salt and add the potatoes. Let them boil and cook for 15 minutes.
-
while the potatoes are cooking, prepare the stuffing. Wash, peel and chop the carrots/celery/onions in small pieces
-
take a big pan and add few tablespoons of oil of olive. Turn the heat on at medium. Add the chopped veggies and stir. Add the garlic and adjust with a pinch of salt. Stir and let it cook for 8/10 minutes.

-
When the vegetables are cook you can add the ground turkey. Stir very well and let it cook for another 8/10 minutes. Add the chopped almonds, stir and set it apart.

-
The potatoes are ready. Drain them and place them back immediately in the pot used for boiling them.
-
Add butter, milk and salt. UsingĀ an immersion blender create a nice and smooth puree.
-
-
Add the fontina cheese chopped in small cubes. The potatoes should be still hot and their heat will melt the cheese. Set the puree apart and let it cool down.
-
-
Take a small sauce pan and add the butter. With a whisk at very low heat melt the butter.
-
When the butter is melted add the flower and keep whisking creating a nice thick cream.
-
Add the worcester sauce and slowly the broth while whisking. Keep whisking for one minute or two and turn the heat off. You will obtain a nice and creamy sauce, not too thick, not too liquid.
-
-
Add the creamy sauce to the turkey vegetable mix.
-
at this point you can choose: you either take 12 small ceramic pots or a big one (oven proof). I love small individual portions so I opted for a small pot. Fill the pot with few tablespoons of Turkey mix (3/4 of the pot) and cover it with the cheesy potato puree. I used a pastry chef bag but you can easily use a tablespoon. It will not be perfect, but it will be easier!!

Bake the pies in the oven at 350 F. for 20/25 minutes: a nice cheesy golden crust will be formed!!! Let the pies cool down at least for 5 minutes before serving and enjoy them!!!
