Method

  1. Preheat your oven to 200°C.

  2. Sauté the leeks and garlic in the butter until the leeks have softened. Mix the turkey, ham and vegetables with the leeks and scoop into an ovenproof dish.

  3. Mix the cream, mustard and gravy together, season if needed. Pour this over the turkey mixture and toss everything together.

  4. Mix the egg yolk and milk to make a wash for the pastry and set aside.

  5. Shape your pastry so that it fits over the ovenproof dish, keeping some strips aside for decorating the top of the pie. Press all around the edge of the pastry sheet with the back of a fork to seal it. Decorate with the extra strips using the egg wash to stick them on. 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.

  6. Bake for about 30 minutes until the pastry is golden and the filling is bubbling.
