Ingredients

Scale

Protein

2 to 3 cups cooked turkey, shredded or diced

Vegetables

1 cup carrots, diced
1 cup peas
1 cup corn

Sauce

4 tablespoons butter
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
2 cups chicken broth
1 1/2 cups milk or cream
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder

Crust

1 pre-made pie crust (top and bottom)

Instructions

Prepare the Filling: Melt butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Whisk in flour until smooth to create a roux. Gradually add chicken broth and milk, stirring constantly until the sauce thickens into a creamy consistency. Season with salt, pepper, thyme, and garlic powder.
Add Turkey and Vegetables: Stir in the cooked turkey and mixed vegetables (carrots, peas, and corn). Allow the mixture to warm through and absorb the flavors for a few minutes.
Assemble the Pie: Roll out the pre-made pie crust and fit it into a pie dish. Pour the turkey and vegetable filling evenly into the crust. Cover with the second pie crust or a dough lattice, sealing the edges well. Cut vents on top to let steam escape during baking.
Bake to Golden Perfection: Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Bake the assembled pie for 30 to 35 minutes until the crust is golden brown and crispy, and the filling is bubbling. Let the pie cool for 10 to 15 minutes before serving to allow the filling to set.

Notes

Use room temperature ingredients for a smoother filling and even cooking.
Do not overload the pie with filling to prevent a soggy crust.
Brush the crust with beaten egg for a shiny, golden finish.
Let the pie rest before slicing to ensure clean, neat portions.
Prepare and refrigerate the filling ahead of time to save cooking time on busy days.
