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

1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
2. 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.
3. Stir in the diced potatoes, peas, and carrots. Cook for an additional 5-7 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender.
4. Sprinkle the flour over the veggies and stir to combine. Cook for 1-2 minutes to remove the raw flour taste.
5. Gradually pour in the chicken broth and milk while stirring constantly. Continue to cook until the mixture thickens, around 5 minutes.
6. Add the shredded turkey, thyme, rosemary, and season with salt and pepper. Mix well and remove from heat.
7. Roll out the pie crust and fit it into a 9-inch pie dish. Pour the turkey mixture into the crust.
8. 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.
9. Brush the surface with the beaten egg for a golden finish.
10. Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbling.
11. Let the pot pie cool for a few minutes before slicing and serving.
