  • Using a food processor, pulse flour and cold cubed butter together until the mixture is sandy.If not using a food processor, squeeze butter and flour between fingertips in a chilled bowl until mixture is sandy. If mixture gets too warm and butter starts getting too soft or melted, put the bowl in the freezer for a minute or two.
  • Add ice water one tablespoon at a time until the dough just comes together. It won't be wet, and it's ok if you still see some dry bits.
  • Turn dough out onto a lightly floured surface and gather all the flour into a ball.

  • Add garlic and cook for 30 seconds until fragrant.
  • Add carrots and potatoes and cook until just softened (3-5 min)
  • Add flour and stir to coat vegetables
  • Deglaze pan with white wine and cook until alcohol cooks off (1-2 min)
  • Add chicken broth and stir until thickened
  • Add shredded turkey and frozen peas
  • Turn off heat and add heavy whipping cream. Season with salt and pepper to taste

Assembling the Pie

  • Add filling to pie pan or casserole dish.
  • Roll crust around your rolling pin and unroll it over the dish of pie filling. Crimp the edges of the crust.
