Can’t wait to make it. Grew up having it, grandmother made it often, it was a favorite. We called the meat mixture Gordon’s. I go to nah twice a year and always bring some back to fl. From crosbys bakery. The best
really good–much like my mother and grandmother made and I’m 68 . I grew up in Lewiston Maine
My mom Used to make tourtiere for me ALL the time, i always wanted to make it on my self and this recepie braught back memories!All my Friends loved it! The only change i made was adding gradded carrots!AWSOME!
Very good! I added a dash more of seasonings, and before I put the top crust on, I sprinkled garlic powder on the meat. I’m glad I did! Thanks for the recipe!
Very good! And easy to make. I took advice from other reviews and I halved the salt, added an extra dash of all the spices, and threw in a second clove of garlic. Yum, yum.
My husband is French Canadian and grew up eating pork pies…he says this is the BEST he has ever eaten! (even better than his sister’s!!) Thanks for the recipe!
Mmm, delicious. Made this for Christmas and it was a big hit. The only thing I noticed was that it needed more spice, but that could just be me, or my spices could have been old. Adjusted it by adding 3x the amount of spice, and added a bit of cinnamon too. Tastes just like my mom’s (except she makes her crust, and I bought Tenderflake ones).
I made this for dinner on Christmas eve. It is a keeper in my household. I am still getting compliments from my husband on this. My father’s family hails from French Canada dating back to early 1600’s. Though he does not remember his mother making this pie, he did remember other’s making it. It will be a tradition in our family now.

Ingredients :
5-6 rustic potatoes-cooked and mashed-plain
I start boiling the potatoes while I am making the meat mixture. I don’t want them cold.
2 lbs ground beef
1 lb ground turkey
1 large onion diced
1-2 tablespoons Poultry seasoning (Bells)
1/2 teaspoon ground cloves
1 tablespoon butter
some milk
S & P
Directions :
Pre heat oven to 375 Prepare and line the pie crusts on two pie plates In large fry pan melt butter and add onion to cook until translucent. Add ground turkey first and cook a couple of minutes then add hamburg and cook until meat is no longer pink. If there is a lot of fat drain some out but leave a little for flavor Add some of the mashed potatoes, just enough to bind the meat together, you might not use all of it. Then ground cloves, S & P , then poultry seasoning. This is to taste and you have to have enough to taste it in the pie-this seasoning is the secret. You might have to add extra. Once you have it to where you like it – fill the pies and top with crust. Make slits for cooking and brush with a little milk to help crusts brown. Bake for 1 hour until crust is nice and brown. Cut and serve while hot. Our favorite topping is ketchup! The extra pie once it cools wrap in aluminum foil to freeze. I like to cut it into separate slices and freeze each slice to take out and use only as much as I need.
