Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups cooked turkey, shredded or diced
- 1 pre-made pie crust (or homemade)
- 1 cup carrots, chopped
- 1 cup peas (frozen or fresh)
- 1 cup corn (frozen or fresh)
- 1 cup celery, chopped
- 1 medium onion, chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 1 cup chicken broth
- ½ cup milk (or cream)
- ¼ cup all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Egg wash (1 egg mixed with water) for brushing
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
- In a large skillet over medium heat, melt the butter and sauté onions, carrots, and celery until softened (about 5 minutes). Stir in garlic for an additional minute.
- Add cooked turkey, peas, and corn. Pour in chicken broth and milk; sprinkle flour over the mixture and stir until combined. Cook until thickened (about 5-7 minutes) and season with thyme, salt, and pepper.
- Roll out your pie crust on a floured surface if using homemade dough. Place one layer into your pie dish; pour in the turkey filling evenly before covering it with another layer of crust.
- Cut slits into the top crust for steam vents and brush lightly with egg wash.
- Bake for about 30-35 minutes or until golden brown. Allow to cool slightly before slicing to serve.
