Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 cups Cooked turkey (shredded or diced)
- 4 tablespoons Butter
- 4 tablespoons All-purpose flour
- 2.5 cups Chicken or turkey stock
- 0.5 cups Heavy cream
- 1 cup Frozen peas
- 1 cup Carrots (diced and cooked)
- 0.5 cups Celery (diced)
- 1 medium Onion (finely chopped)
- 1 teaspoon Fresh thyme leaves
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 sheets Pie crust (store-bought or homemade)
- 1 Egg (beaten, for egg wash)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
In a large pan over medium heat, melt the butter. Add the chopped onion and celery, cooking until softened, about 3-4 minutes.
Stir in the flour and cook for 1-2 minutes to form a roux.
Gradually whisk in the chicken or turkey stock, followed by the heavy cream. Continue stirring until the mixture thickens into a creamy sauce, about 5 minutes.
Add the cooked turkey, peas, carrots, thyme, salt, and black pepper to the sauce. Mix well to evenly combine.
Roll out one sheet of pie crust and fit it into a 9-inch pie dish. Trim any excess dough along the edges.
Pour the turkey filling into the prepared pie crust, spreading it evenly.
Cover the pie with the second pie crust. Trim excess dough, then crimp the edges together to seal.
Cut a few small slits in the top crust to allow steam to escape.
Brush the crust with the beaten egg to achieve a golden finish.
Place the pie on a baking sheet to catch any drips and bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and bubbling.
Let the turkey pie cool for 10-15 minutes before serving to allow the filling to set.
