  • 1 medium onion, finely diced – Brings sweetness and flavour.
  • 1 carrot, grated or finely chopped – Adds colour and moisture.
  • 1 small potato, diced into small cubes – Makes the filling more satisfying.
  • 1 tablespoon butter – Used for softening the vegetables.
  • 1 tablespoon plain flour – Helps thicken the filling lightly.
  • 150ml chicken stock – Adds savoury depth and moisture.
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme – Introduces a gentle herbal aroma.
  • Salt and pepper to taste – Balances seasoning.
  • Ready-made shortcrust pastry (or homemade) – Forms the crisp outer shell.

Instructions

Step 1 — Prepare the filling

Melt butter in the pan, then add onion, carrot, and potato. Cook until softened.

Step 2 — Add turkey and seasoning

Stir in the turkey, thyme, salt, and pepper, mixing everything well.

Step 3 — Thicken the mixture

Sprinkle flour over the filling and stir, then pour in the chicken stock until the mixture thickens slightly. Cool completely.

Step 4 — Roll and cut the pastry

Roll out the pastry and cut into circles or squares, depending on your preferred shape.

Step 5 — Add filling  

Spoon the cooled mixture onto each piece, keeping it slightly off-centre so it can fold easily.

Step 6 — Serve warm or chilled  

Enjoy immediately or allow to cool before storing.
