Sage Turkey Ragout Baked
Under a Celery Mash Crust
This sage turkey ragout recipe brings back nostalgic memories for us. The original recipe appeared in a magazine published in 1998, and we used to make it every Christmas for many years afterward. I was just about to forget about it when it resurfaced again this year. Instead of mashed potatoes, however, I prepared a lighter celery mash to go with it. Make it yourself if you’d like a special Christmas dinner, and enjoy that moment when the crispy baked celery mash meets the creamy ragout!
