This pie combines cooked turkey with a creamy sauce, seasonal vegetables, and a flaky or shortcrust pastry topping. Mary Berry’s version is simple yet indulgent, making it a versatile dish that can be served for lunch, dinner, or even at casual gatherings.

Ingredients

For the Filling

  • Cooked Turkey (400g, shredded): Leftover roast turkey works best.
  • Vegetables (300g, diced): Such as carrots, peas, and green beans.
  • Chicken or Turkey Stock (300ml): Adds depth to the sauce.
  • Butter (50g): For making the roux.
  • Flour (50g): Thickens the sauce.
  • Double Cream (150ml): Creates a rich and creamy texture.
  • Fresh Thyme (1 tsp): For a subtle herby flavor.
  • Salt and Pepper (to taste)

For the Pastry

  • Ready-Made Shortcrust or Puff Pastry (1 sheet): Saves time and effort.
  • Egg (1, beaten): For brushing the pastry to create 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 skillet over medium heat. Stir in the flour and cook for 1-2 minutes to form a roux. Gradually whisk in the stock, followed by the cream, until the sauce is smooth and thickened.

Step 3: Add the filling

Stir in the shredded turkey, vegetables, thyme, and seasoning. Let the mixture simmer for 5 minutes to combine the flavors. Remove from heat and allow to cool slightly.

Step 4: Assemble the pie

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

Step 5: Brush with egg wash

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