Hairy Bikers Turkey Ham Pie Recipe Ingredients

For the Filling:

• 50g butter
• 2 large leeks, sliced
• 50g plain flour
• 300ml chicken or turkey stock
• 300ml double cream
• 1 tbsp wholegrain mustard
• 500g cooked turkey, diced
• 250g cooked ham, diced
• Fresh parsley, chopped
• Black pepper

For the Pastry:

• 500g block of puff or shortcrust pastry
• 1 medium egg, beaten

How To Make Hairy Bikers Turkey Ham Pie Recipe

1. Cook the leeks and make the sauce: Melt the butter in a large pan and cook the leeks until softened. Stir in the flour and cook for 1 minute, then gradually whisk in the stock until the sauce thickens.
2. Add cream and meat: Take the sauce off the heat. Stir in the cream, mustard, turkey, ham, and chopped parsley. Season with pepper. Let the filling cool completely.
3. Assemble the pie: Preheat the oven to 200°C (180°C Fan). Spoon the cooled filling into a large pie dish.
4. Add the pastry topping: Roll out the pastry to fit the dish. Brush the rim with beaten egg, lay the pastry over the top, and press to seal. Trim off the excess.
5. Bake the pie: Brush the pastry with beaten egg. Cut a small steam hole in the center. Bake for 30–40 minutes until golden and puffed. Rest for 10 minutes before serving.
