Ingredients

For the Filling

Cooked Turkey (400g, shredded): Ideal for leftover turkey.
Cooked Ham (300g, diced): Adds savory depth to the filling.
Butter (50g): For making the roux.
Flour (50g): Thickens the sauce.
Chicken or Turkey Stock (300ml): Creates a flavorful base.
Double Cream (150ml): Adds richness to the sauce.
Leek (1, finely sliced): For a subtle onion flavor.
Mushrooms (150g, sliced): Optional, for additional texture and flavor.
Fresh Thyme (1 tsp): Add a herby note to the dish.
Salt and Pepper (to taste)

For the Pastry

Shortcrust or Puff Pastry (1 sheet): Ready-made pastry works perfectly.
Egg (1, beaten): For brushing the pastry to achieve a golden crust.

Instructions

Step 1: Preheat the oven

Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F).

Step 2: Prepare the sauce

Melt the butter in a large saucepan over medium heat. Stir in the flour and cook for 1-2 minutes to form a roux. Gradually whisk in the stock, stirring constantly, until the sauce is smooth and thickened.

Step 3: Add the filling ingredients

Add the double cream to the sauce, followed by the leek, mushrooms (if using), shredded turkey, diced ham, and thyme. Mix well and season with salt and pepper. Allow the filling to cool slightly.

Step 4: Assemble the pie

Pour the filling into a pie dish. Roll out the pastry (if needed) and lay it over the filling. Trim the edges and crimp to seal. Use a knife to make small slits in the pastry to allow steam to escape.

Step 5: Brush with egg wash

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

Step 6: Bake the pie

Place the pie in the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the pastry is golden brown and crisp.

Step 7: Serve

Let the pie cool for a few minutes before serving. Slice and enjoy warm with your favorite sides.
