- 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)
- Sauté Veggies: In a large skillet, melt butter over medium heat. Add onion, garlic, carrots, and celery, cooking until softened.
- 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.
- Add Turkey and Peas: Stir in the shredded turkey and peas. Cook for another 2 minutes, then remove from heat.
- 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.
- Bake: Brush the crust with egg wash and bake for 25-30 minutes, until golden brown and bubbling.
- Serve: Let it cool slightly before serving.
