Step-by-Step Instructions
- In a medium skillet, melt 2 tablespoons of butter over medium heat. Sauté 1 diced onion and 1 cup of diced carrots for about 5 minutes, until tender. Stir in 2 cups of shredded cooked turkey and 1 cup of peas, then pour in 1 cup of heavy cream and add fresh thyme and parsley. Season with salt and pepper, allowing to simmer for 2-3 minutes. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Roll out your mini pie crust on a floured surface. Cut out circles for mini pie dishes or muffin tins, lining each with crust.
- Spoon about 2 tablespoons of the filling into each crust, leaving a small border to prevent overfilling.
- Cover each pie with another round of crust, crimping the edges to seal. Cut a small 'X' on top for steam to escape.
- Bake mini pies on a baking sheet for 30 minutes or until golden brown. They are ready when crusts are browned and filling is bubbling.
- Let the pies cool for 5 minutes before serving. Garnish with fresh herbs and enjoy.

Notes
Allowing the turkey mixture to cool slightly prevents a soggy crust. Ensure not to overfill mini pies; this helps avoid messy spills. Cut an 'X' on top for proper steam release, keeping the crust flaky. Unbaked pies can be frozen for up to a month and baked from frozen, adding extra time as needed.
