Directions
FOR THE CRUST
1. In a saucepan bring the water to a boil. In it cook the squash with salt to taste for 6 to 8 minutes, or until it is just tender, and with a slotted spoon transcfer the squash to a bowl of ice and cold water to stop the cooking. In the boiling water cook the lima beans for 3 minutes, or until they are just tender, and with the slotted spoon transcfer them to the bowl, and reserve 1 cup of the cooking liquid.
2. In a large saucepan melt the butter over moderate heat, add the flour, and cook the roux, whisking, for 3 minutes. Add the turkey or chicken broth and the reserved cooking liquid in a stream, whisking, add the minced sage and salt and pepper to taste and simmer the sauce, stirring occasionally, for 10 minutes. Drain the squash and lima beans, stir them into the ssauce with the onions and the turkey, and pour the mixture into a 1½-quart shallow baking dish. The pot pie may be prepared up to this point 1 day in advance and kept covered and chilled.
3. Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.
4. Make the crust: Into a bowl sift together the flour, the baking powder, and the salt, add the butter, and blend the mixture until it resembles meal. Stir in the Cheddar and thye bacon and stir in enough of the milk to form a soft, sticky dough. Transfer the dough to a pastry bag fitted with a ¾-inch star tip and pipe it around the edge of the turkey mixture.
(Alternatively, the dough may be dropped by rounded tablespoons onto the turkey mixture.)
5. Bake the pot pie in the lower third of the oven for 20 to 25 minutes, or until the crust is golden, and garnish it with the sage sprig.
