Pot Pie
- 4 Tablespoons Butter
- 1/2 cups Finely Diced Onion
- 1/2 cups Finely Diced Carrot
- 1/2 cups Finely Diced Celery
- 3 cups Shredded Cooked Chicken Or Turkey
- 1/4 cups Flour
- 3 cups Low-sodium Chicken Broth, Plus More If Needed
- Splash Of White Wine (optional)
- 1/4 teaspoons Turmeric
- Salt And Pepper, to taste
- Chopped Fresh Thyme To Taste
- 1/4 cups Half-and-half Or Cream
- 1 whole Unbaked Pie Crust
- 1 whole Egg
- 2 Tablespoons Water
- Preheat the oven to 375 F.
- Melt the butter in a large pot over medium-high heat, then add the onion, carrots, and celery.
- Stir them around until the onions start to turn translucent, about 3 minutes.
- Stir in the chicken or turkey and then sprinkle the flour over the top and stir it until its all combined with the turkey and vegetables.
- Cook for 1 minute, then pour in the chicken broth (and wine if using) and stir it around and let it cook and thicken.
- Once it starts to thicken add the turmeric, salt, pepper, and thyme.
- Add the half-and-half or cream, then stir the mixture and let it bubble up and thicken, about 3 minutes.
- If it seems overly thick, splash in a little more broth.
- Turn off the heat.
- Pour the filling into a 2-quart baking dish.
- Roll out the pie crust on a floured surface and lay it over the top of the dish.
- Press the dough so that the edges stick to the outside of the pan.
- Use a knife to cut little vents here and there in the surface of the dough.
- Mix together the egg with 2 tablespoons water and brush it all over the surface of the crust.
- (You will have some egg wash left over.)
- Place the pie on a rimmed baking sheet and bake for 25 to 30 minutes, until the crust is deep golden brown and the filling is bubbly.
- To prevent the crust from getting too brown, you might want to cover it lightly with foil for the first 15 minutes of baking time.
- Serve up servings by the (big ol) spoonful!
