Turkey Pot Pie
Turkey Pot Pie features a creamy filling made from cooked turkey, carrots, peas, and corn nestled inside a flaky pie crust. The mixture combines sautéed celery, onions, and a spiced cream sauce thickened with flour and seasoned with thyme, celery seed, salt, and pepper. A golden egg-washed crust encloses the filling, baked until bubbly and crisp-edged, creating a comforting and hearty dish.
