Ingredients

• 5 tbsp unsalted butter
• 1 yellow onion, diced
• 2 celery stalks, diced
• 2 carrots, diced
• 0.333 cup all-purpose flour
• 2 cups chicken or turkey broth
• 1 cup whole milk
• 1 tsp dried thyme
• 0.5 tsp dried sage
• 1 tsp salt
• 0.5 tsp black pepper
• 3 cups cooked turkey, shredded or diced
• 1 cup frozen peas
• 2 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped
• 2 pie crusts (store-bought or homemade)
• 1 egg, beaten (for egg wash)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

Step 2

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

Step 3

Sprinkle the flour over the vegetables and stir well to coat. Cook for 1-2 minutes to remove the raw flour taste.

Step 4

Slowly whisk in the chicken or turkey broth, ensuring no lumps form. Then add the milk, stirring until the mixture begins to thicken, about 3-5 minutes.

Step 5

Stir in the dried thyme, sage, salt, and black pepper. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed.

Step 6

Fold in the cooked turkey, frozen peas, and chopped parsley, cooking for an additional 2-3 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside.

Step 7

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

Step 8

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

Step 9

Place the second pie crust over the top. Trim, seal, and crimp the edges to create a decorative border. Cut small slits in the top crust to allow steam to escape.

Step 10

Brush the top crust with beaten egg to create a golden, glossy finish.

Step 11

Place the pie on a baking sheet to catch any drips and bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbling.

Step 12

Allow the turkey pot pie to cool for 10-15 minutes before slicing and serving. Enjoy!
