Recipe For Turkey & Ham Pie

Hey there, pie-lovers! Today, we're going to whip up a storm in the kitchen with a recipe that's so easy, even your pet goldfish could do it. Okay, maybe not, but you get the drift. We're talking about a Turkey & Ham Pie that'll make your taste buds do the cha-cha.

What You'll Need

First things first, let's gather our troops. You'll need:

• 1 pack of ready-rolled puff pastry (because who's got time for homemade these days?)
• 300g of leftover turkey, shredded (or if you're feeling fancy, you can use a whole turkey breast)
• 150g of ham, chopped into tiny soldiers (or not so tiny, if you're feeling rebellious)
• 1 onion, finely chopped (no tears allowed, we're making a pie, not a tragedy)
• 2 cloves of garlic, minced (because vampires aren't real, and neither is your excuse for not having garlic)
• 2 tbsp of plain flour (to thicken the sauce, not to make a snowman)
• 300ml of chicken stock (or vegetable, if you're feeling green-fingered)
• 150ml of double cream (because life's too short for single cream)
• 1 egg, beaten (for egg-washing the pastry, not for eating raw, eww)
• Salt and pepper to taste (because flavor is subjective, unlike your awesome sense of humor)

Let's Get Cooking!

Preheat your oven to 200°C (180°C fan) or Gas Mark 6. Grab a large pan, throw in the onion and garlic, and sweat them off until they're soft. You can do this, it's not a workout class.

Sprinkle in the flour, give it a good stir, and let it cook for a minute. Then, pour in the stock, stirring like your life depends on it. Add the cream, and let it bubble away until it's thick enough to hold its own in a pie.

Stir in the turkey and ham. Season with salt and pepper, then tip the mixture into a pie dish. If you don't have one, a baking tray will do, or even a wok in a pinch. We won't judge.

Unroll the pastry onto a floured surface. If it's not big enough, you can patch it together like a quilt. Cut out a circle (or a square, if you're feeling avant-garde) and lay it on top of the pie filling. Press the edges to seal, and trim off any excess.

Brush the pastry with the beaten egg. This isn't a romantic comedy, so don't go making any egg puns. Cut a few slits in the top to let the steam out, and pop it in the oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the pastry's golden brown.
