Jamie Oliver’s Turkey and Leek Pie is a classic British-style savoury pie made with cooked turkey, sautéed leeks, herbs, and a creamy sauce, all covered with puff pastry and baked until golden. It’s a rich, satisfying dish ideal for using up roasted turkey.

Ingredients

Scale

    • 400g cooked turkey, shredded or chopped

    • 2 large leeks, cleaned and sliced

    • 1 onion, finely chopped

    • 2 tablespoons butter

    • 1 tablespoon olive oil

    • 2 tablespoons flour

    • 300ml chicken stock

    • 150ml double cream or milk

    • 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard (optional)

    • 1 teaspoon thyme (fresh or dried)

    • Salt and black pepper

    • 1 sheet ready-rolled puff pastry

    • 1 beaten egg (for glazing)

Instructions

1. Prepare the Leek Base

Heat butter and olive oil in a pan over medium heat. Add sliced leeks and onion, cooking gently until soft and sweet. This forms the aromatic base that brings depth and warmth to the filling.

2. Build the Creamy Sauce

Stir in the flour and cook for 1 minute to remove any raw taste. Gradually pour in the chicken stock while whisking, creating a smooth sauce. Add cream and mustard, letting the mixture thicken to a silky consistency.

3. Add Turkey and Seasoning

Stir in the cooked turkey and thyme. Season well with salt and black pepper. Allow the filling to simmer for 3–4 minutes so the flavours meld and the sauce coats the meat evenly.

4. Assemble the Pie

Transfer the filling into a baking dish. Lay the puff pastry sheet over the top, trimming excess edges. Press gently around the sides to seal and cut a small slit in the centre to allow steam to escape.

5. Bake Until Golden and Crisp

Brush the pastry with beaten egg and bake in a preheated oven at 200°C (400°F) for about 25–30 minutes, or until the pastry is puffed, crisp, and golden brown.
