Ingredients
Scale
Filling
- 3 cups cooked turkey, diced
- 1 ½ cups mixed vegetables (carrots, peas, corn), thawed if frozen
- 1 can (10.5 oz) cream of chicken soup
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
Pie Crust
- 1 prepared pie crust for the bottom
- 1 prepared pie crust for the top (or homemade equivalent)
- 1 egg, beaten (for egg wash)
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) to ensure it reaches the right temperature for baking the pie.
- Prepare Filling: In a large mixing bowl, combine the diced cooked turkey, mixed vegetables, and the cream of chicken soup. Season with salt, pepper, and dried thyme. Stir until the ingredients are evenly mixed creating a creamy filling.
- Assemble Pie: Place the bottom pie crust into a 9-inch pie dish. Pour the turkey and vegetable filling into the crust, spreading evenly. Cover the filling with the top crust, sealing the edges by pressing them together with your fingers or a fork. Cut a few small slits in the top crust to allow steam to escape during baking.
- Apply Egg Wash: Brush the top crust with the beaten egg to give the pie a golden brown and glossy finish when baked.
- Bake Pie: Place the assembled pie on a baking sheet to catch any drips and bake in the preheated oven for 30–35 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and filling is bubbly.
- Cool and Serve: Remove the pie from the oven and let it cool for 10 minutes before slicing. This helps the filling to set for easier serving.
Notes
- You can substitute cream of chicken soup for cream of mushroom soup if preferred or to make it vegetarian-friendly by using a mushroom-based soup and replacing turkey with tofu or extra vegetables.
- If using frozen vegetables, make sure to thaw and drain any excess water to prevent a soggy crust.
- For a crispier crust, bake the pie on the lower rack of the oven and use a glass or metal pie dish.
- The egg wash is optional but recommended for a beautiful golden crust.
