tourtiere
Quebec meat pie
Tourtière is a meat pie from Quebec, traditionally made with ground pork, sometimes mixed with beef or game, seasoned with warm spices like cloves and cinnamon.
The dish is strongly associated with French-Canadian Christmas celebrations: We always have tourtière on Christmas Eve.
Spelling sometimes drops the accent: tourtiere.
