  6. Bring to a simmer and add the turkey and bacon and heat through for a few minutes.
  7. Unroll the pastry sheet and cut out a lid for the pie and stripes to line the rim of your deep pie dish.
  8. Moisten the pastry strips with water using a pastry brush and stick them to the rim of your deep pie dish.
  9. Ladle the turkey pie filling into the dish.
  10. Top the pie with the pastry lid using more water and crimp the edge with your fingers.
  11. Then “knock up” the edge with a sharp knife all the way round to give a puffed up looking edge. (Making lots of little cut marks up the edge).
  12. Make decorations with the remaining pastry if wished and pierce a hole in the centre with a knife to allow the steam to escape.
  13. Brush the egg wash over the pie and bake in the oven for 20 minutes until golden.
  14. Serve with petite pois and carrots.
  15. Serves 4.

Notes

  • If using leftover gammon or ham just fry like you would the streaky bacon.
