Recipe Information
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
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat.
Stir in the flour and cook, whisking constantly, for 1 minute to create a roux.
Gradually add the chicken broth and milk, whisking continuously, until the mixture is smooth and begins to thicken.
Stir in the salt, black pepper, and dried thyme. Set the sauce aside.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooked turkey, frozen mixed vegetables, and the prepared sauce. Mix until fully incorporated.
Unroll one of the pie crusts and place it into a 9-inch pie dish, pressing gently to fit the dish.
Pour the turkey and vegetable mixture into the prepared pie crust.
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.
In a small bowl, whisk together the egg and water to create an egg wash.
Brush the top crust with the egg wash for a golden finish.
Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbly.
Allow the pot pie to cool for 5-10 minutes before slicing and serving.
