Cozy Turkey Pot Pie: A Heartwarming Recipe
Ingredients
- 2 cups cooked turkey, shredded
- 1 cup frozen peas and carrots mix
- 1 cup diced potatoes (preferably Yukon Gold)
- 1 small onion, chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1.33 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 cups chicken broth
- 1 cup milk
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1 teaspoon dried rosemary
- to taste salt and pepper
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 1 pre-made pie crust (or homemade if preferred)
- 1 egg beaten (for egg wash)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
- In a large skillet, heat the olive oil and butter over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and garlic and sauté until fragrant and the onion is translucent, about 3-4 minutes.
- Stir in the diced potatoes, peas, and carrots. Cook for an additional 5-7 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender.
- Sprinkle the flour over the veggies and stir to combine. Cook for 1-2 minutes to remove the raw flour taste.
- Gradually pour in the chicken broth and milk while stirring constantly. Continue to cook until the mixture thickens, around 5 minutes.
- Add the shredded turkey, thyme, rosemary, and season with salt and pepper. Mix well and remove from heat.
- Roll out the pie crust and fit it into a 9-inch pie dish. Pour the turkey mixture into the crust.
- Cover the filling with the top layer of the pie crust, sealing the edges by crimping with your fingers or a fork. Cut a few slits in the top to allow steam to escape.
- Brush the surface with the beaten egg for a golden finish.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbling.
- Let the pot pie cool for a few minutes before slicing and serving.
