Holiday Leftover Turkey Pot Pie

• 5 cups stock chicken
• 3 cups smoked ham cubed
• 2 tablespoons vermouth optional
• 3 each carrots sliced
• 3 stalks celery sliced
• 2 each sweet potatoes, or yams peeled and cubed
• 1 each bay leaves
• 1/2 teaspoon savory dried
• 1 cup peas, frozen
• 1/2 cup sweet red bell peppers diced
• 13 cup butter
• 1 each onions chopped
• 3/4 cup flour, all-purpose
• 3/4 teaspoon dry mustard
• 3 cups turkey cooked and cubed
• 1 x black pepper freshly ground, to taste
• 1 x pastry for 9" single crust pie
• 1 tablespoon milk

1. In Dutch oven, combine chicken stock, ham, vermouth (if using), carrots, celery, sweet potatoes, bay leaf and savory.
2. Bring to a boil then reduce heat and simmer, covered, for 15 to 20 minutes or until carrots are tender crisp.
3. Add peas and red pepper and simmer for 2 minutes.
4. Drain, reserving liquid, then discard the bay leaf.
5. Set the vegetable mixture aside.
6. Melt butter over medium heat and cook onion for 3 minutes until softened.
7. Sprinkle with flour and cook stirring for 3 to 4 minutes until lightly golden.
8. Stir in mustard.
9. Gradually whisk in reserved liquid until smooth.
10. Increase heat to medium and cook, whisking constantly, until thickened and boiling.
11. Add reserved vegetable/ham mixture and turkey.
12. Season with salt & pepper to taste.
13. Pour into 12 cup casserole.
14. Roll out pastry 1/4 inch thick on floured surface and cut into desired shapes.
15. Arrange on top of casserole and brush with milk.
16. Bake on a baking sheet at 400F (200C) for 30 to 35 minutes until pastry is golden brown and filling is bubbly.
17. What my mother-in law usually does:
18. I do variations on this without the ham but it is best with both.
19. I think I usually saute the red pepper with the onions instead of adding them with the peas.
20. Sometimes I heat it without anything on top or you could use tea biscuits.
