Ingredients
- 1 Tablespoon olive oil
- ½ onion {diced}
- 2 cloves garlic {minced}
- 3 cups cooked turkey {chopped or shredded}
- 21 ounces cream of chicken soup
- 2 cups peas and carrots {frozen}
- 1 ½ cups chicken broth
- ½ cup milk {or heavy cream}
- 1 teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon fresh thyme {chopped}
- 1 & ⅓ sheets puff pastry
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 425°.
- In a large skillet over medium heat add oil. Once oil is heated, add the diced onion and sauté until translucent. Add minced garlic and cook for an additional minute or until fragrant. To the onion and garlic, add the turkey, cream of chicken soup, frozen peas and carrots, chicken broth and milk or heavy cream. Mix until well combined and then add the salt, pepper and thyme. Cook for 4-5 minutes, stirring occasionally and then pour the mixture into a 9x13 pan that has been sprayed with nonstick cooking spray.
- Take one sheet of puff pastry dough and unroll it. Place on top of the turkey filling over 3/4 of the pie. Next, cut ⅓ of a second puff pastry sheet {cut along the fold and place it on the remaining pot pie. Whisk together 1 egg with 1 tablespoon of water and brush the mixture {you won't use all of it} over the top of the puff pastry. Sprinkle with black pepper and bake for 35-40 minutes or until the puff pastry is golden brown and baked through. If you notice that the puff pastry is getting too brown, cover it with foil and continue baking.
- Remove from the oven and allow it to sit for 5 minutes before serving. Leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.

Notes
- If you don't have leftover turkey use cooked chicken or ham for a delicious pot pie.
- Change up the vegetables to whatever combination you prefer, just stick to the same amount.
- If you prefer a Turkey Pot Pie without a crust, add a layer of mashed potatoes on top of the filling.
- Add a baking sheet pan under the pot pie pan when you put it in the oven. It is an extra precaution if you worry about it boiling over.
- If the top of the puff pastry is getting too brown, cover it with foil. This will allow it to continue to bake and not burn.
