Ingredients
2 cups cooked turkey, chopped
1 cup carrots, diced
1 cup celery, diced
1 small onion, diced
1 cup peas
4 tablespoons butter
1/3 cup all-purpose flour
1 3/4 cups chicken or turkey broth
1/2 cup milk or cream
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
2 pie crusts or 1 sheet puff pastry
Instructions
1. Preheat oven to 400°F.
2. In a large skillet, melt butter and sauté onion, carrots, and celery until softened.
3. Stir in flour to form a roux, then gradually whisk in broth and milk or cream.
4. Simmer the mixture until thickened, then stir in the cooked turkey and peas. Season with salt and pepper.
5. Place one crust into a pie dish. Pour the turkey mixture into the crust.
6. Cover with the second crust or puff pastry. Seal the edges, crimp if desired, and cut slits to vent.
7. Bake for 30–35 minutes until golden brown and bubbling.
8. Let rest for 10 minutes before serving.
Notes
Use puff pastry for a fancier, flakier top crust.
You can make the filling ahead and refrigerate for up to 2 days.
Add herbs like thyme or parsley for extra flavor depth.
