Turkey and Leek Pie
Cowbridge Kitchen
For me a Pie is a seasonal meal, some pies seem to go with the season, a Shepherd's Pie is a great winter Pie as a Minced Beef and Onion Pie is great in the Summer. This Turkey and Leek Pie is made with Christmas in mind.
This recipe is a great way to use up that left over Turkey from Christmas Day, and if you don't have any Leek then you can always use other Vegetables such as Carrots and Peas.
This delicious Turkey and Leek pie is ideal for a Boxing Day Lunch, all you need to do is make your own Pastry and this pie is ready to go in the oven.
I like to serve this pie with creamy Mashed Potato or as a special treat a Parsnip Mash just to keep that festive spirit alive for a few more days.

Turkey and Leek Pie Recipe
Turkey and Leek pie was surely created as a Boxing Day Recipe, a great way to use up that left over Turkey.
We have used Leek to compliment the Turkey in this pie recipe, but you could just as well addapt the recipe to use vegetables instead.With the same creamy white sauce this Turkey Pie will taste delicious with vegetables or just Leeks.
