📝 Preparation Steps
1
Preheat the oven to 400°F.

3
Sprinkle the flour over the sautéed vegetables and stir to create a roux. Cook for ⏱️ 2-3 minutes, allowing the roux to turn slightly golden in color.
4
Deglaze with white wine, sherry and chicken stock, stirring constantly until the mixture thickens and becomes smooth. Allow it to simmer for a few minutes, then turn off the heat.

5
Add the heavy cream, thyme, peas, the shredded leftover turkey, season wit salt and pepper, then stir to combine. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed.
6
Roll out the thawed puff pastry sheet on a lightly floured surface so it's just large enough to fit the skillet with a slight overhang.
7
Place the rolled-out puff pastry on top of the pot pie filling in the skillet, tucking in the excess around the edges to form a crust.
8
If desired, brush the puff pastry all over with the beaten egg to give it a beautiful golden-brown finish when baked. You can also sprinkle some flaky sea salt, fresh herbs or black pepper on top.

Let cool slightly before serving.
