Ingredients:

• 2 cups cooked turkey, shredded
• 1/2 cup butter
• 1 onion, diced
• 2 garlic cloves, minced
• 2 carrots, diced
• 2 celery stalks, diced
• 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
• 2 cups chicken or turkey broth
• 1 cup milk or cream
• 1 cup frozen peas
• 1 tsp dried thyme
• Salt and pepper to taste
• 1 sheet puff pastry or pie crust (store-bought or homemade)
• 1 egg (for egg wash)

Instructions:

1. Sauté Veggies: In a large skillet, melt butter over medium heat. Add onion, garlic, carrots, and celery, cooking until softened.
2. Make the Sauce: Stir in the flour and cook for a minute. Gradually add the broth and milk, stirring constantly until thickened. Season with thyme, salt, and pepper.
3. Add Turkey and Peas: Stir in the shredded turkey and peas. Cook for another 2 minutes, then remove from heat.
4. Assemble the Pie: Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Pour the turkey mixture into a pie dish. Lay the puff pastry or pie crust over the top, seal the edges, and cut a few slits for ventilation.
5. Bake: Brush the crust with egg wash and bake for 25-30 minutes, until golden brown and bubbling.
6. Serve: Let it cool slightly before serving.

This is so rich and hearty—perfect for a cozy dinner!
