Ingredients

• 4 tablespoons butter
• 4 tablespoons all-purpose flour
• 2 cups chicken or turkey stock
• 1 cup milk
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 teaspoon dried thyme
• 1 teaspoon dried rosemary
• 3 cups cooked turkey, shredded
• 2 cups frozen mixed vegetables (peas, carrots, corn, etc.)
• 2 cups potatoes, diced and pre-cooked
• 2 pieces pie crust dough (homemade or store-bought)
• 1 unit egg, beaten (for egg wash)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

Step 2

In a large saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Once melted, whisk in the flour and cook for 1-2 minutes, stirring constantly, to create a roux.

Step 3

Gradually whisk in the chicken or turkey stock and milk, and cook until the mixture thickens (about 5 minutes). Stir constantly to avoid lumps.

Step 4

Season the sauce with salt, black pepper, dried thyme, and dried rosemary. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed.

Step 5

Stir in the shredded turkey, frozen mixed vegetables, and pre-cooked diced potatoes. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until everything is evenly coated and warmed through. Remove from heat and set aside.

Step 6

Roll out one piece of pie crust dough and line the bottom and sides of a 9-inch deep-dish pie pan. Trim any overhanging edges.

Step 7

Pour the turkey and vegetable filling into the pie crust-lined dish, spreading it out evenly.

Step 8

Roll out the second piece of pie crust and place it over the filling. Trim any excess dough and press the edges of the top and bottom crusts together to seal. Crimp the edges with a fork or your fingers.

Step 9

Cut a few slits in the top crust to allow steam to escape during baking.

Step 10

Brush the top crust with beaten egg to give it a golden, glossy finish.

Step 11

Place the pie on a baking sheet (to catch any overflow) and bake in the preheated oven for 40-45 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbling.

Step 12

Remove the pie from the oven and let it cool for 10-15 minutes before slicing and serving. Enjoy!
