Ham and Turkey Winter Pie

  • 3 leeks, finely sliced
  • 50g butter
  • Pinch of thyme
  • 4 sliced garlic cloves
  • 3 tbsp seasoned flour
  • 2 tbsp cider vinegar
  • 500ml chicken stock
  • 150ml double cream
  • 1.5 tbsp wholegrain mustard
  • 2 tbsp chopped parsley
  • 250g cooked gammon, chopped
  • 400g leftover roast turkey, chopped
  • 320g ready-rolled puff pastry
  • 1 beaten egg
  • Cook the leeks and thyme in the butter for 10 mins to soften, then stir in the garlic and cook for 5 mins more. Stir in the flour, cook for 3 mins, then add the vinegar and cook for another minute. Gradually add the stock, stirring to combine, then pour in the cream and bring to a simmer for 5 mins to thicken. Remove from the heat, stir in the meat, mustard and parsley, then season and set aside to cool.
  • Heat the oven to 200C. Spoon the pie filling into a 1.5 litre pie dish, then brush the edges of the pastry with egg and lay over the top of the filling. Press the edges to seal, cut a steam hole in the middle, then brush the pastry with the remaining egg. Bake in the oven for 45 mins or until puffed and golden, then leave to stand for 5 mins before serving with your favourite greens.
