Ingredients

• 500 grams lean ground turkey
• 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
• 1 medium yellow onion, chopped
• 3 pieces garlic cloves, minced
• 2 medium carrots, diced
• 2 medium celery stalks, diced
• 250 ml low sodium beef broth
• 150 grams frozen peas
• 1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves
• 1 teaspoon fresh rosemary, finely chopped
• 2 tablespoons whole wheat flour
• 2 sheets whole wheat pastry crust
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 1 piece egg white, beaten

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

Step 2

In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté for about 5 minutes until translucent.

Step 3

Add the minced garlic, diced carrots, and diced celery to the skillet. Cook for another 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Step 4

Increase the heat to medium-high, add the ground turkey to the skillet, and cook until browned, about 8 minutes. Break it apart with a wooden spoon.

Step 5

Sprinkle the whole wheat flour over the turkey mixture, stirring to combine and cook for another minute.

Step 6

Gradually pour in the low sodium beef broth, stirring as you go, and bring the mixture to a simmer. Add the frozen peas, thyme leaves, rosemary, black pepper, and salt.

Step 7

Reduce heat to low and let simmer for about 10 minutes until the mixture thickens slightly.

Step 8

Roll out the whole wheat pastry crust sheets. Line a greased 9-inch pie dish with one sheet, pressing down gently into the dish.

Step 9

Pour the turkey filling into the crust-lined pie dish. Cover with the second pastry crust sheet. Seal and crimp the edges to secure the pie, and cut a few slits on top to release steam during baking.

Step 10

Brush the top crust with the beaten egg white for a glossy finish.

Step 11

Place the pie in the oven and bake for 35-40 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown.

Step 12

Let the pie cool for at least 10 minutes before slicing and serving. Enjoy your heart-healthy classic meat pie!
