Ingredients

For the Filling:

2 cups cooked turkey, shredded or diced
1 cup frozen peas and carrots (or mixed vegetables)
1/2 cup diced onion
1/2 cup diced celery
1/3 cup unsalted butter
1/3 cup all-purpose flour
1 3/4 cups chicken or turkey broth
2/3 cup milk or half and half
1/2 tsp salt
1/4 tsp black pepper
1/4 tsp garlic powder (optional)
1/2 tsp thyme or poultry seasoning

For the Crust:

2 prepared pie crusts (store-bought or homemade)
1 egg, beaten (for brushing top crust)

Instructions

Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C).
Sauté vegetables: In a large skillet, melt butter over medium heat. Add onion and celery, cooking until soft, about 5 minutes.
Make the sauce: Stir in flour and whisk for 1 minute. Slowly add broth and milk, whisking until thickened and creamy.
Add the turkey: Stir in turkey, peas, carrots, and seasonings. Remove from heat.
Assemble: Place one crust into a 9-inch pie dish. Pour in filling, then top with second crust. Trim edges, crimp, and cut slits for steam. Brush top with beaten egg.
Bake: Place on a baking sheet and bake 30–35 minutes, until golden brown and bubbling. Let cool 10 minutes before slicing.
