Ingredients

See the recipe card for full information on ingredients and quantities.

• Turkey: If you remove the bones, you can use any part of the turkey. The easiest part to start with is the breast.
• Vegetables: For this recipe, I use frozen mixed vegetables, including carrots, peas, green beans, and sweetcorn. You can also use leftover vegetables or fresh vegetables. 
• Roux: For this recipe, you will need to make a roux. A roux is a classic butter, milk, and flour mixture that creates a creamy base. 
• Butter: I used unsalted butter, but you can also use salted butter. If you use salted butter, be mindful of how much salt you add to the filling. 
• Milk: Dairy milk, but you can use low-fat milk if you prefer a healthier option.
• Flour: Use all-purpose or plain flour for this recipe. 

Tips and Substitutions

• Filling: Ensure there is enough filling when making a leftover turkey pie. This will prevent the pie from being airy.
• Shelf: Bake the pie on the middle shelf to avoid burning the top.
• Turkey: You can use leftover chicken instead of turkey. 
• Add-ins: Feel free to add mushrooms and potatoes if you like.
• Toppings: If you don’t have puff pastry, top the turkey filling with mashed potatoes and shredded cheese instead.
