Ingredients

  • butter 25 g
  • fresh thyme 1 tsp
  • Dijon mustard 2 tsp
  • egg 1
  • double cream 200 ml
  • white wine 100 ml
  • chicken stock cube 100 g
  • leek 1
  • puff pastry 320 g
  • cooked ham 150 g
  • roast turkey 500 g

Method

  • Heat the oven to 200c/180c fan.
  • Thinly slice the leeks and chop the sage.
  • Melt the butter in a large saucepan and gently add the leek and sage leaves until softened.
  • Increase the heat, pour in the wine, and cream. Allow to bubble for a couple of minutes to thicken slightly.
  • Tear the turkey meat and ham into chunks or strips. Add to the pan with the ham, mustard, chicken stock and any extra leftovers you fancy throwing in!
  • Season with salt and pepper, bring to a simmer and cook for a few minutes until the sauce has thickened enough to coat the meat.
  • Beat the egg and milk together to make an egg wash.
  • Spoon into four individual pie dishes (or one larger one). Brush the rim of the dish with the egg wash.
  • Cut the pastry into four (or leave whole of you are making a large pie) and lay over the top.
  • Press the edges down to seal onto the dish and trim any excess pastry.
  • Cut a small slit into the top of the pies to allow any steam to escape and brush with the egg wash. You can use any trimmings to decorate the pie.
  • Place on a baking tray and cook for 15 minutes until the tops are golden and the sauce starts to bubble around the edges of the pies.
  • While the pies are baking, bring a pan of salted boiling water to a simmer. Remove the tough stalks from the green beans and place them in the water.
  • Boil for 5 minutes, then drain and toss with a knob of butter and season.
  • Serve the pies with green beans on the side for a lunch or light supper.
