Ingredients

• 3 cups cooked turkey (shredded or diced)
• 2 cups chicken or turkey stock
• 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 4 tablespoons all-purpose flour
• 0.5 cups heavy cream
• 1 cup frozen peas
• 1 cup diced carrots (cooked or parboiled)
• 0.5 cups diced celery
• 1 large onion (diced)
• 2 cloves minced garlic
• 1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves (chopped)
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 2 sheets store-bought or homemade pie crust
• 1 egg (beaten for egg wash)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 2

In a large skillet or saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the diced onion, garlic, celery, and carrots, and sauté until softened, about 5-7 minutes.

Step 3

Stir in the flour and cook for 1-2 minutes to create a roux, stirring constantly.

Step 4

Gradually add the chicken or turkey stock while whisking, ensuring there are no lumps. Bring the mixture to a simmer and cook until it thickens, about 3-4 minutes.

Step 5

Stir in the shredded turkey, peas, cream, thyme, salt, and black pepper. Mix well, then remove from heat and let the filling cool slightly.

Step 6

Roll out one sheet of pie crust and fit it into a 9-inch pie dish. Trim any excess dough around the edges.

Step 7

Pour the slightly cooled filling into the prepared pie crust, spreading it out evenly.

Step 8

Roll out the second pie crust and carefully lay it over the filling. Trim any overhang, then crimp the edges to seal. Cut a few small slits in the top crust to allow steam to escape.

Step 9

Brush the beaten egg over the top crust to give it a golden-brown finish.

Step 10

Bake the pie in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbly.

Step 11

Remove the pie from the oven and let it cool for 10 minutes before slicing and serving.
