This was amazing; I'm French Canadian and Tourtiere is a staple for us at Christmas. I was very skeptical when my husband said he was going to make this. I have to say, it was better then my mom's!!!! It was very moist. We added 1/2 cup of white wine. We are going to make this version at x-mas. - 12/4/11
