6 servings
For the crust
- 2 ½ cups all-purpose flour
Chef's tipChoose a gluten-free baking blend labeled 1:1 or cup-for-cup and use the same amount. Almond and coconut flour won't work the same way. - 1 tsp salt
- 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, cold, cut into ½-inch cubes
- 6–8 tbsp ice water
For the filling
- 4 tbsp unsalted butter
- 1 medium yellow onion, finely diced
- 3 medium carrots, peeled and cut into ½-inch pieces
- 3 stalks celery, cut into ½-inch pieces
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- ⅓ cup all-purpose flourChef's tipChoose a gluten-free baking blend labeled 1:1 or cup-for-cup and use the same amount. Almond and coconut flour won't work the same way.
- 2 cups low-sodium chicken broth
- ¾ cup whole milk
Chef's tipUse the same amount. Whole milk is richer, so a lower-fat milk will make the dish a little less creamy. This matters most in baking and custards, where the extra fat adds richness. - 3 cups cooked turkey, cut into ¾-inch pieces
- 1 cup frozen peas
Ingredient noteCandida diets often limit peas early on because they are high in starch. This recipe works out to only about 2 1/2 tablespoons of peas per serving, which is likely fine. If you prefer to always avoid peas, please tap it and change its rating to Red.
- 1 tsp fresh thyme leaves
- ½ tsp salt, plus more to taste
- ¼ tsp black pepper, plus more to taste
For the egg wash
- 1 egg, beaten
- 1 tbsp whole milkChef's tipUse the same amount. Whole milk is richer, so a lower-fat milk will make the dish a little less creamy. This matters most in baking and custards, where the extra fat adds richness.
Instructions
- 1
Make the crust: Whisk together the flour and salt in a large bowl. Add the cold butter cubes and work them into the flour using your fingertips or a pastry cutter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs with some pea-sized butter pieces remaining. Drizzle in ice water 1 tablespoon at a time, tossing with a fork after each addition, until the dough just holds together when pressed — it should not be wet or sticky. Divide the dough in half, flatten each half into a disk, wrap tightly, and refrigerate for at least 15 minutes.

Preheat the oven to 400°F (205°C).
