Ingredients

• 2 cups Cooked turkey (shredded or chopped)
• 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter
• 1 medium Yellow onion (diced)
• 1 cup Carrots (diced)
• 1 cup Celery (diced)
• 1 cup Frozen peas
• 0.25 cup All-purpose flour
• 2 cups Turkey or chicken stock
• 1 cup Leftover turkey gravy
• 1 teaspoon Dried thyme
• 0.5 teaspoon Dried rosemary
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 2 Pie crusts (store-bought or homemade, top and bottom)
• 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, carrot, and celery, sautéing until the vegetables are softened (about 5-7 minutes).

Step 3

Sprinkle the flour over the vegetables and cook, stirring constantly, for 1-2 minutes to form a roux.

Step 4

Gradually whisk in the turkey or chicken stock and bring the mixture to a simmer, stirring until thickened.

Step 5

Stir in the leftover turkey gravy, thyme, rosemary, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to combine.

Step 6

Add the shredded turkey and frozen peas to the skillet, stirring to evenly coat the filling. Remove the skillet from the heat and let the mixture cool slightly.

Step 7

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

Step 8

Spoon the turkey filling into the pie dish, spreading it out evenly.

Step 9

Roll out the second pie crust and lay it over the filling. Pinch and crimp the edges of the crusts together to seal the pie.

Step 10

Cut a few small slits in the top crust to allow steam to escape during baking.

Step 11

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

Step 12

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

Step 13

Remove the pie from the oven and let it cool for 5-10 minutes before serving. Enjoy your comforting Turkey Pot Pie!
