Instructions

Create the Savory Galette Crust

  1. First, combine the flour, salt, and grated unsalted butter in a mixing bowl.
  2. Next, add the cold water until a dough forms.
  3. Finally, divide the dough into two, wrap it in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.

Prepare the Filling

  1. First, heat a skillet over medium heat and drizzle with Avocado or olive oil.
  2. Next, add the sweet potatoes, onions, and carrots. Season with salt and pepper.
  3. Then, cook the vegetables until just softened (10-15 minutes).
  4. Next, add the ground Venison (or another ground lean or game meat). Add salt and pepper, dill weed, and oregano. Stir to combine.
  5. Then, cook the meat until browned (about 10-12 minutes). Add the petite peas.
  6. Next, sprinkle the meat and vegetables with the all-purpose flour and stir to combine.
  7. Then, add the bone broth and stir until combined. Bring the mixture to a boil and then reduce it to a simmer until thickened.
  8. Finally, turn the heat off and allow the filling to cool to room temperature.

Create the Savory Venison Galettes

  1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
  2. Next, remove the refrigerated dough and roll it onto a lightly floured surface.
  3. Then, sprinkle cornmeal onto a baking sheet and place the discs of pie dough onto the baking sheet.
  4. Next, scoop 2 cups of meat filling into the centers of each pie disc, leaving a 2-inch border.
  5. Then, pull the edges of the pie crust towards the filling and crimp or fold over to seal.
  6. Finally, brush the crust with olive oil or melted butter before baking.

Bake and Serve the Savory Venison Galettes

  1. Once the oven is preheated, place the Savory Venison Galettes into the oven for 35 minutes.
  2. Next, bake the galettes until lightly browned.
  3. Then, remove the baked Savory Venison Galettes and allow them to cool for 3-5 minutes.
  4. Finally, using a pizza cutter or a sharp knife, cut the galettes into fourths, serve, and enjoy!
