Ingredients

  • 3 cups cooked turkey, diced or shredded
  • 1 pie crust (9-inch, store-bought or homemade)
  • 4 tablespoons butter
  • 1 small onion, chopped
  • 2 carrots, diced
  • 2 celery stalks, diced
  • 1 cup frozen peas
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 cups chicken or turkey broth
  • 1/2 cup milk or heavy cream
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. Melt butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add onion, carrots, and celery. Cook until softened, about 5–7 minutes.
  3. Stir in minced garlic and cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
  4. Sprinkle flour over vegetables and stir constantly for 1–2 minutes to form a roux.
  5. Gradually whisk in broth, stirring until thickened. Add milk or cream and cook until the sauce becomes smooth and creamy.
  6. Fold in turkey, frozen peas, salt, pepper, and thyme. Simmer for 3–4 minutes until thickened. Remove from heat.
  7. Transfer filling to a 9-inch pie dish. Place pie crust over the top, trim and crimp edges, and cut small slits for ventilation.
  8. Bake for 30–35 minutes until crust is golden brown and filling is bubbling.
  9. Cool for at least 10 minutes before slicing and serving.

Notes

  • For extra richness, add a splash of heavy cream or shredded cheddar to the filling.
  • Use leftover chicken as a substitute for turkey.
  • Blind bake the bottom crust if using one to prevent sogginess.
  • Store leftovers in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
  • Freeze baked or unbaked pot pie for up to 2 months.
