Ingredients
Scale
For the Filling:
- 3 cups cooked turkey, shredded or diced
- 1 cup carrots, diced
- 1 cup celery, diced
- 1 cup onion, diced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 cup frozen peas
- 1/4 cup fresh parsley, chopped
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 cup chicken or turkey broth
- 1/4 cup heavy cream
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch (optional, for thickening)
For the Crust:
- 2 pre-made pie crusts (store-bought or homemade)
- 1 egg, beaten (for egg wash)
Instructions
Prepare the Filling
- Sauté the Vegetables: In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add onions, carrots, celery, and garlic. Sauté until the vegetables are tender, about 5-7 minutes.
- Add Turkey and Peas: Stir in the cooked turkey, frozen peas, parsley, thyme, salt, and pepper. Mix well to combine.
- Create the Gravy: Pour in the broth and heavy cream. Bring to a simmer and let cook for 5 minutes. If you’d like a thicker filling, mix cornstarch with a little water and stir it in, cooking until thickened.
- Cool: Remove from heat and let the filling cool slightly while you prepare the crust.
Assemble the Pie
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
- Prepare the Bottom Crust: Roll out one pie crust and fit it into a 9-inch pie dish, trimming any excess overhang.
- Add the Filling: Pour the turkey filling into the crust, spreading it evenly.
- Create the Lattice Top: Roll out the second pie crust and cut it into strips. Lay half of the strips horizontally across the filling, then weave the remaining strips vertically to create a lattice pattern. Trim and crimp the edges of the crust to seal.
- Apply Egg Wash: Brush the lattice top with the beaten egg for a golden finish.
Bake the Pie
- Bake: Place the pie in the preheated oven and bake for 30-40 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbly. If the edges brown too quickly, cover them with foil.
- Cool: Remove from the oven and let cool for at least 10 minutes before slicing and serving.
