Ingredient Notes

These notes are here to help make this recipe a success; they cover some but not all ingredients. For a complete ingredient list, check out the recipe card below.

Onion: I use a regular brown onion, but white or yellow would work. You can also use a leek if you have one. 
Chicken broth: If you have leftover turkey broth, you can use it. I use low sodium/ reduced salt broth to control the salt, as ham can be salty.
Milk: This recipe has been tested with full-fat and half-fat/semi-skimmed milk. I haven’t tested it with 0% fat milk. You can also use half and half for a richer, creamier sauce. 
Chicken or vegetable bouillon: I use a powdered stock or ‘better than bouillon’. You can also substitute it with a stock cube. These all add an extra punch of flavor to the creamy sauce. 
Turkey: Any leftover turkey, white and dark meat, will work. Remove the skin, though. You can cube or shred the meat. 
Ham: We like chunks of this in the pie, but you can finely chop it. 
Salt: You may not need extra salt, depending on your ham and broth. Taste your sauce, and then add the salt if it lacks flavor. 
Puff pastry: An all-butter puff tastes better and will get golden on top. But you can use regular puff pastry. If you are using an all-butter puff pastry, cutting it while it is still a little frozen is easier. 
Egg: This is for the egg wash on the top of the pie. You can also use a little milk.

Serving Suggestions

What to eat with Turkey and Ham Pot Pie

Serve these turkey and ham pot pies with a crisp green salad with a tangy vinaigrette to balance the richness of the filling and maybe some warm crusty bread to soak up any leftover creamy sauce. Steamed green beans or roasted carrots pair wonderfully with the rich, creamy filling. For an extra indulgent touch, consider serving it with buttery mashed potatoes.

What to drink with Turkey and Ham Pot Pie

For those who drink white wine, a floral, fruity Viognier perfectly balances the savory sauce and smoky ham. Or go for a new world Chardonnay with bright citrus notes and that creamy, buttery finish, perfect for complimenting and balancing the rich pie filling. 

If you prefer a red, a light-bodied Pinot Noir, is fresh and fruity without overpowering the subtle herbs in the pie. Or a Grenache, while being a little more full-bodied, will stand up to the ham while not overpowering the turkey or the creamy sauce.
