Ingredients

Scale

2 cups leftover turkey, shredded
1 cup carrots, diced
1 cup peas
1 cup celery, diced
1/2 cup onion, chopped
1/4 cup butter
1/4 cup all‑purpose flour
2 cups chicken broth
1 cup grape juice
1 teaspoon thyme
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1 package puff pastry, thawed

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the onion, carrots, and celery; cook until softened, about five minutes.
Stir in the flour and cook for one minute to form a roux.
Gradually whisk in the chicken broth and grape juice, stirring until the mixture thickens.
Add the shredded turkey, peas, thyme, salt, and garlic powder; combine thoroughly.
Transfer the filling to a baking dish, top with rolled puff pastry, cut slits for steam, and bake for 25‑30 minutes until golden.

Notes

For a richer sauce
replace half of the chicken broth with low‑fat cream. Add a pinch of cayenne for heat or a layer of cheese under the pastry for extra indulgence. Refrigerate leftovers for up to three days or freeze the assembled
unbaked pie for up to two months.
