Instructions
- In a pan, heat up the oil over a medium heat, add the peeled and chopped onion, and fry until golden.
- Add the peeled and chopped garlic, frozen vegetables and shredded cooked turkey together with the bay leaves and chicken stock.
- Leave to cook until the liquid is evaporated.
- In a small bow, mix the cornflour with the milk, and pour it over the turkey and vegetables.
- Stir until it thickens into a sauce that coats well the turkey and veggies.
- Season with salt and pepper to taste, remove the bay leaves and leave to cool completely.
- Preheat the oven to 180 degrees Celsius (350 Fahrenheit).
- Roll the puff pastry, and cut it into 6 squares.
- Add one tablespoon of the turkey filling in the centre of the pastry square, bring the corners of the pastry together to form a triangle, and press with a fork to seal the edges. Repeat with all the pies.
- Beat the egg, and brush each pie with it, then make 2 small cuts on top to allow the steam to be released while baking.
- Line 2 or 3 baking trays with non-stick paper and bake for about 25 minutes until golden.
Notes
- I used leftover turkey since I had plenty, but if you don't have any leftovers and want to give these pies a try, add the turkey or chicken pieces after the onion and garlic are cooked, and leave to fry till no longer pink, before adding the vegetables.
- The meat will cook further when the chicken stock is added, so it should be cooked through when the liquid is evaporated. Follow the same instructions to make the pies.
