- Preheat oven to 400°F.
- Brine and Roast Turkey: Cut all of the thighs in half so one half has a bone and the other half is boneless. The bones will give the dish more flavor, and cutting it in half will allow the turkey to cook quicker. Set aside. In a large bowl, combine water, sugar, salt, garlic cloves, peppercorns, and rosemary sprig. Stir until the sugar and salt are dissolved. Add the turkey pieces and ensure meat is submerged. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate 1-1.5 hours. Remove turkey from the brine and pat dry with paper towels. Place the turkey pieces into a large dish and rub the butter all over the top and bottom of thighs. Pour in the chicken stock and bake for 30 minutes or until a thermometer placed into the thickest part of the meat registers at 165 degrees. Remove from oven and pour off any juices into a measuring cup and reserve for the sauce. Let the turkey cool until it can be handled. Discard the skin and shred the thighs into bite size pieces and set aside.
- Roast Vegetables: Place all of these ingredients into a large bowl and mix well so everything is coated evenly with the spices and herbs. Pour out onto a sheet pan and place into the oven to roast for 25 minutes or until they are golden brown. Stir vegetables half way through cooking with a metal spatula. Meanwhile make sauce.
- Make Veloute Sauce: In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over low heat (don't let it burn) and add the flour. Raise the heat to medium and whisk the butter and flour together for about 2 minutes to form a white roux. Slowly pour the stock, the reserved pan juices and the cream into the roux while constantly whisking. Add the bay leaves. When the stock begins to simmer, turn down the heat to low and cook until the sauce thickens, stirring now with a wooden spoon to get into the corners of the pot. A thin skin may form; just skim it away with your spoon. Depending on your stovetop, the sauce may take 5 - 10 minutes to get to your desired consistency. Season the sauce with the salt, pepper, sage, lemon juice and a pinch of nutmeg. Remove about 2 cups of the sauce to a smaller saucepan to use when plating. To the large pot of sauce, add the roasted turkey and the roasted vegetables. Stir gently as to not mash the vegetables.
- Assemble Napoleons: Place a plain *round of crust* onto the plate. Top with a generous spoonful of the pot pie filling. Place the decorative *crust round* on top. Ladle more sauce on the plate as needed and top with the salad greens.
