Ingredients

  • ½ cup unsalted butter
  • 2 cups carrots, chopped small
  • 1 cup sweet onion, diced
  • 1 cup celery stalks, chopped small
  • 1 tablespoon poultry blend, chopped (thyme, rosemary, sage)
  • 4 garlic cloves, minced
  • ½ cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 cups low-sodium chicken stock
  • 1 cups whole milk
  • 4 cups leftover turkey, shredded
  • 2 cups frozen peas
  • ½ lemon, juiced
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1 package frozen puff pastry, thawed
  • egg wash

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 425°F. Melt the butter over medium heat in a 10 inch cast iron skillet.
  • Add the carrots, onion, celery and poultry blend, cooking for about 5 minutes. Stir in the garlic and cook for another 30 seconds. Add the flour and cook for 1 minute.
  • Slowly add the chicken stock and milk, stirring, until the mixture begins to bubble and thickens slightly, about 4-5 minutes. Add the turkey, peas, lemon juice and salt. Taste for seasoning and adjust if needed.
  • Roll out one pastry sheet into a 12 inch square on a lightly floured surface. Place over the cast iron skillet and cut 3 slits on the top of the puff pastry.
  • Brush the egg wash over the puff pastry and bake for 25 minutes or until golden brown and the filling is bubbling.

Notes

  • Homemade turkey stock can be used for extra flavor.
  • If you want a vegetarian version, replace the turkey with mushrooms and use vegetable stock instead of chicken stock.
  • If your puff pastry tears or cracks, rub with a bit of water and gently squeeze back together.
  • Make sure to cut slits into the pastry to allow the steam to escape.
  • I like a dark pastry, but if it is getting too dark for your liking, cover with aluminum foil.
