Directions
FILLING:

  • In a large skillet, melt 2 tablespoons of butter.

  • If using raw turkey breast, add to butter and season with salt and pepper.

  • Cook, turning once until lightly browned, approximately 10 minutes. Remove the turkey from
    the skillet.

  • If using leftover turkey, skip the above steps.

  • To the skillet add the onion, carrots and mushrooms.

  • Stir and cook until slightly tender. (Approximately 5 minutes)

  • Add 2 cups of stock, thyme, rosemary and parsley.
  • Bring to a boil, then reduce heat
    to low and add back into the skillet the turkey or leftover turkey.
  • Simmer for 10
    minutes.

  • Meanwhile, in a small saucepan, melt the remaining 4 tablespoons of butter on medium high heat,
    whisk in flour to combine, then slowly add in 2 cups of chicken stock, whisking continuously, adding
    more liquid as the sauce thickens until all is used.

  • Add this roux to the turkey and vegetable mixture.

  • Transfer to the souffle or baking dish.

  • Allow to cool completely before putting on the crust.

  • This filling can be prepared a day ahead, cooled and covered in the

refrigerator. CRUST:

  • Preheat oven to 375°.

  • Roll out pie crust to a 12 inch circle or 1 inch larger than your baking dish.

  • You can use pastry scraps to make cut outs to decorate the top of the pie if you desire.

  • Beat
    egg and milk and brush around the edge of the baking dish.

  • Top with the crust and press the pastry, crimping the edges, around the dish.

  • Brush lightly all over with the egg mixture.

  • If using, place decorations on top and brush with egg mixture.

  • Using a sharp knife, cut 2-3 slits 1/2 inch long in the center of the pie for the stem to
    escape.

  • Bake until the top of the pie is golden brown. (40-45 minutes)

  • Serve immediately.
