Christmas Leftover Pie
This pie is rich and warming, and the cream and mustard add moisture and flavour. Hopefully it is made with bits that you already have in your cupboards over the holidays.

Ingredients
Preheat your oven to 200ÂşC/gas mark 6.
Sauté the leeks and garlic in the butter until the leeks have softened.
Mix the turkey and ham with the leeks and scoop into an ovenproof dish.
Mix the cream, mustard and gravy together, season if needed. Pour this over the turkey mixture and toss everything.
Mix the egg yolk and milk to make a wash for the pastry and set aside.
Roll your pastry so that it fits over the ovenproof dish, keeping some strips aside for decorating the top of the pie. Attach the pastry lid onto the pie and press all around the edge of the pastry sheet with the back of a fork to seal it onto the pie dish.
Decorate the top of the pie with any extra strips using the egg wash to stick them on.
Place the pie into the fridge for at least a half an hour so the pastry can firm up.
After you remove it from the oven, brush the top of the pie with the wash and cut a hole in the centre so the steam can escape while it is baking.
Bake for about 30 minutes until the pastry is golden and the filling is bubbling inside.
