Ingredients
4 tbsp unsalted butter
1 white onion, diced
2 carrots, diced
2 celery stalks, diced
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 tsp fresh thyme, finely chopped
1 tsp fresh rosemary, finely chopped
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
1 cup half and half
1 cup chicken stock
3 cups leftover turkey, cubed or shredded
1 tsp salt
1/2 tsp black pepper
1 cup frozen peas
1 refrigerator pie crust
1 large egg
1 tbsp water (for egg wash)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
- In a large skillet over medium-low heat, melt the butter and add onion, carrot, and celery. Cook for about 10 minutes until softened.
- Add garlic, thyme, and rosemary. Cook for 30 seconds until fragrant.
- Stir in flour and cook for 2 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- Slowly whisk in the half and half and chicken stock. Bring to a simmer and cook until thickened, about 5 minutes.
- Remove from heat. Stir in turkey, salt, pepper, and peas.
- Grease a 10-inch baking dish and pour in the filling.
- Place the pie crust over the filling and cut a few slits to vent.
- In a small bowl, whisk the egg with 1 tbsp water. Brush the egg wash over the pie crust.
- Bake for 30–35 minutes, until the crust is golden brown.
- Let sit for 10 minutes before serving.
Notes
- Can be made ahead and refrigerated for up to 24 hours before baking.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days.
- Freeze unbaked for up to 2 months; bake from frozen with an added 10–15 minutes.
- Substitute turkey with rotisserie chicken or cooked ground beef.
- Use homemade crust, puff pastry, or biscuit dough instead of store-bought crust.
