Preparation

Step 1

Preheat an oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C).

Place the peas and carrots in a microwave safe dish. Add 1 teaspoon of water and microwave on high for 2 to 3 minutes until vegetables are no longer frozen. Drain vegetables and set aside.

Melt the butter in a saucepan over medium heat, and cook the onion and celery until tender, about 5 minutes. Stir in the flour, salt, black pepper, celery seed, onion powder, and Italian seasoning; slowly whisk in the chicken broth and milk until the mixture comes to a simmer and thickens. Remove from heat; stir the vegetables and turkey meat into the filling until well combined.

Fit 1 pie crust into the bottom of a 9-inch pie dish. Spoon the filling into pie crust, then top with the other crust. Pinch and roll the top and bottom crusts together at the edge of each pie to seal, and cut several small slits into the top of the pies with a sharp knife to release steam.

If using a puff pastry sheet instead, spoon filling into pie plate or individual size baking dishes and top with puff pastry.

Bake in the preheated oven until the crusts are golden brown and the filling is bubbly, 30 to 35 minutes. If the crust are browning too quickly, cover the pie with aluminum foil after about 15 minutes. Cool for 10 minutes before serving.
