Ingredients

• 2 cups cooked turkey
• 2 cups frozen mixed vegetables
• 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 4 tablespoons all-purpose flour
• 1.5 cups chicken broth
• 0.5 cups milk
• 0.5 teaspoons salt
• 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
• 0.25 teaspoons dried thyme
• 2 pieces refrigerated pie crusts
• 1 piece egg
• 1 tablespoon water

Directions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).

Step 2

In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat.

Step 3

Stir in the flour and cook, whisking constantly, for 1 minute to create a roux.

Step 4

Gradually add the chicken broth and milk, whisking continuously, until the mixture is smooth and begins to thicken.

Step 5

Stir in the salt, black pepper, and dried thyme. Set the sauce aside.

Step 6

In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooked turkey, frozen mixed vegetables, and the prepared sauce. Mix until fully incorporated.

Step 7

Unroll one of the pie crusts and place it into a 9-inch pie dish, pressing gently to fit the dish.

Step 8

Pour the turkey and vegetable mixture into the prepared pie crust.

Step 9

Top with the second pie crust. Pinch the edges together to seal, and cut a few small slits in the crust to allow steam to escape.

Step 10

In a small bowl, whisk together the egg and water to create an egg wash.

Step 11

Brush the top crust with the egg wash for a golden finish.

Step 12

Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbly.

Step 13

Allow the pot pie to cool for 5-10 minutes before slicing and serving.
