- Prep your meat.
- My turkey was not pre made, so i seasoned it with salt, pepper, oregano, thyme, basil and slow cooked it in my corck pot on HIGH untill I was able to easily shred it.
- But this will work great with left over meats.
- If you cooked your meat for this recipe, SAVE THE DRIPPINGS.
- Prep your potatos.
- Cut into small cubes.
- Oil a heavy skillet over MED-HIGH heat, and toss in the potatos.
- While potatos are cooking chop onion, and mince garlic.
- Add to potatos.

- Add your seasonings.
- Let cook untill they are fragarent.
- Add drippings, stir to coat.
- If you have no drippings add 1 or 2 pats of butter.
- Add flour, stir to coat.
- Let cook for about 1 minute.
- Add stock, and let it thicken slightly.
- You may need to reduce heat to MED-LOW.
- Test a potato.
- You want them to have a little firmness.
- DO NOT OVER COOK.
- The potatos will become too soft and get lost in the over all filling.
- Add meat and peas.
- Stir to combine.
- Taste for seasoning.
- Add if necessary.
- Fill your pie.
- Top with cheese before you put top crust on.
