📝 Preparation Steps
1
Melt 1 Tbsp. unsalted butter with 1 Tbsp. extra-virgin olive oil in heavy large skillet over medium-high heat. Add 1 cup chopped onion and cook, stirring, until golden, 7 to ⏱️ 8 minutes. Add 6 oz. button mushrooms, stems trimmed, caps cut in half, thickly sliced crosswise; sprinkle with kosher salt and freshly ground pepper. Cook, stirring, until browned and tender, about ⏱️ 4 minutes. Add 1 cup thinly sliced peeled carrots (about 2 carrots); cover and cook until carrots soften slightly, about ⏱️ 2 minutes. Add ½ cup finely chopped leftover cooked vegetables, if desired. Add 1½ cups finely chopped cooked turkey (7–8 oz.), 1– 1¼ cups turkey gravy, and 1 tsp. chopped fresh thyme. Bring to a boil; reduce heat to low and simmer to thicken if necessary. Season with salt and pepper. Mix in ¼ cup frozen green peas, thawed, and 1 Tbsp. chopped fresh Italian parsley. Pour filling into 9" glass pie dish and chill until cool, about ⏱️ 30 minutes.
