Equipment

  • 9-inch pie pan

Ingredients

  • 2 9-inch refrigerated pie crusts
  • ¼ cup butter
  • 1 cup diced white or yellow onion
  • ½ cup carrots diced
  • ½ cup mushrooms diced
  • 4 cloves garlic minced
  • ½ tablespoon fresh rosemary minced
  • 1 teaspoon fresh thyme minced
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon pepper
  • ½ teaspoon fresh sage minced
  • ¼ cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup milk
  • 1 cup chicken broth
  • ½ cup heavy cream
  • 1 pound cooked turkey diced
  • ½ cup frozen peas thawed
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 tablespoon water

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 425°F.
  • Line a 9-inch pie pan with one pie crust, and set it aside.
  • Melt the butter in a large skillet over medium heat.
  • Add in the onions, carrots, and mushrooms, and cook until lightly golden brown. Stir in the garlic and cook for an additional 30 seconds.
  • Mix in the rosemary, thyme, garlic powder, salt, pepper, and sage.
  • Stir the flour and slowly whisk in the milk, chicken broth, and heavy cream.
  • Cook the mixture for 2 to 3 minutes until a thickened sauce forms.
  • Mix in the turkey and peas.
  • Transfer the mixture to the pie crust.
  • Place the second pie crust over the top and crimp the edges closed.
  • In a small mixing bowl, whisk the egg and water together.
  • Brush the egg wash over the top of the pie crust.
  • Cut a few slits into the top of the crust.
  • Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown. If the crust browns too quickly, tent with aluminum foil.
  • Allow the pie to cool for 10-15 minutes before serving.

Notes

  • Mushrooms:  Celery would be an excellent substitute for the mushrooms. 
  • Fresh herbs: You can use dried herbs in place of fresh ones, but you will only need about a quarter of the amount since they are more potent in flavor. 
  • Turkey: You can use chicken in place of the turkey.
  • Pie crust: You can use your favorite pie crust recipe in place of the store-bought refrigerated kind.
  • Nutrition values are estimates.
