- 2 cups cooked turkey, diced
- 1 cup mixed vegetables (carrots, peas, green beans), cooked
- 1/2 cup chopped onion
- 1/4 cup butter
- 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 cups chicken broth
- 1/2 cup milk
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 (14.1 ounce) package refrigerated pie crusts
- 1 egg, beaten (for egg wash)
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
- In a large skillet, melt butter over medium heat. Add chopped onion and cook until softened, about 5 minutes.
- Whisk in the flour and cook for 1 minute, stirring constantly.
- Gradually whisk in the chicken broth and milk until smooth. Bring to a simmer, stirring constantly, until the gravy thickens.
- Stir in the diced turkey, mixed vegetables, salt, and pepper. Cook for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until heated through.
- Line a 9-inch pie plate with one pie crust. Pour the turkey mixture into the crust.
- Place the second pie crust over the filling. Trim and crimp the edges to seal. Cut several slits in the top crust to allow steam to escape.
- Brush the top crust with the beaten egg wash.
- Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbly.
- Let stand for 10 minutes before serving.
Notes
- You can use leftover gravy instead of making a new gravy base.
- For an extra flaky crust, ensure your butter and water are very cold when making homemade pie dough.
- Consider adding a pinch of dried thyme or sage to the filling for extra flavor.
