Method

Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Cut turkey¹ into small pieces, finely dice onion⁴ and carrot³.
Melt butter⁵ in a pan, sauté onion⁴ and carrot³ for 5 minutes until soft.
Add turkey¹ and cook for 5–7 minutes until pieces turn white. If turkey is pre-roasted, warm for just 2 minutes.
Sprinkle flour over the mixture, stir, then pour in milk⁷.
Add peas, thyme, salt, and pepper. Simmer for 4–5 minutes until the filling thickens.
Transfer filling to a pie dish, cover with puff⁹ pastry, and cut a steam slit.
Bake for 22–25 minutes until the pastry is golden and the filling bubbles at the edges.

Tips

Why it works: Fry the onion and carrot for 5 minutes until soft so they release their moisture and don't make the filling runny while baking. If they're raw, the crust will turn soggy and won't brown.
Substitutions: Replace the frozen peas with canned (44 g) if you have no fresh. You can skip the butter (14 g) and use 1 tbsp of vegetable oil for frying, the filling won't turn dry.
Common mistakes: If the crust hasn't browned at the edges while the filling is already bubbling, the oven wasn't preheated enough. Check the temperature with a thermometer or watch the color of the crust after 15 minutes.
Storing and reheating: Keep in the fridge for 3 days. Reheat in the microwave for 2–3 minutes, covering the plate with a napkin, or in the oven at 180 °C for 15 minutes under foil. Don't freeze, the crust will turn soggy.
Serve with: Serve with boiled potatoes or a simple cabbage and apple salad to balance the richness of the filling and add freshness.
