The crust is flaky and buttery, while the creamy inside is bursting with hearty chunks of turkey, sweet carrots and celery and earthy thyme. You can use whatever frozen veggies you might have on hand. I opted for cauliflower and broccoli.

You can easily adapt this recipe to use pre-made pastry, but I’ll teach you how to make homemade pastry. WAIT, don’t give up on me yet! It takes just minutes to prepare and all you need is butter, flour, salt and water. It’s way, way better than anything you’d buy at the store. Hands down, no comparison.
Still want to save some time and use pre-made pie crust? You can pick up frozen pie crust sheets at the grocery store. Follow the instructions on the package to ensure you’re properly thawing and cooking them.
