Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees.
  • Cook the potatoes in a large saucepan of boiling water for 10 minutes, or until nearly fork-tender. Drain.

  • Add the minced garlic and thyme leaves, then cook, stirring constantly, for 30 seconds.
  • Sprinkle in the flour and cook, stirring often, for 2 minutes.
  • Very slowly add the turkey stock, then add the milk and bring to a slight boil for a minute, while whisking constantly, until it thickens a bit. Season with sea salt and freshly cracked pepper, to taste.
  • Add the drained potatoes, roasted turkey, frozen peas, and frozen corn, then stir until well combined. Taste and re-season if needed.
  • Place the pie crust on top of the filled cast-iron skillet and roll the edges down.
  • Make a few slits on the top of the pie with a sharp knife for venting.
  • Place into the oven and cook for 40-45 minutes, or until golden brown.
  • Remove from the oven and allow to cool for 15 minutes before serving. Enjoy!
