Ingredients
- 2 medium carrots diced (about 1 cup)
- 3 stalks celery diced (about 1 cup)
- 1 medium onion diced (about 1 ½ cups)
- 1 clove garlic minced
- 3 tablespoons butter
- ¼ cup all-purpose flour
- ½ cup white wine
- ¼ cup sherry
- 2 cups chicken or turkey stock
- ½ cup heavy cream
- ½ teaspoon fresh thyme leaves
- ½ cup frozen peas defrosted
- 2 cups leftover Thanksgiving turkey meat shredded or diced
- 1 sheet of frozen puff pastry thawed, but cold
- 1 egg beaten for egg wash, optional
- Flaky sea salt for sprinkling on top optional
Notes
- If omitting the wine and/or sherry, substitute with an equal amount of either stock plus a few splashes of white wine vinegar to balance the richness, or with apple cider, which adds a really nice flavor.
- Thaw puff pastry in the refrigerator, and keep it cold until right before using. This makes it easier to work with and ensures it bakes up light and flaky.
- The egg wash is optional but will make the crust golden brown and crisp on top.
- Lightly dust the crust with flaky sea salt, herbs or other seasonings before baking for added flavor and texture.
- Always vent the crust with small cuts to let steam escape, which prevents it from overflowing on the sides.
- Let the pot pie rest at least 5 minutes before serving to let the filling set up.
