- Filling : Cut up one or two turkeys. Heat a little fat and brown some thinly sliced onions, but do not let them go too dark. Then put in the Turkey and braise it gently. Add some cloves, a few allspice, a bay-leaf and some peppercorns. If necessary add a little water. When the meat is almost cooked add a little vermicelli (laxa) and some sago. Let all the ingredients simmer until the Turkey is cooked. Remove the bones and cut the meat small.
- Spread the meat evenly over the pastry and cover it with a second layer. Prick it and brush it with egg. Then bake it in a hot oven until it is nice and crisp. The oven must be hot otherwise the pastry will not go flaky.
