Christmas turkey pie
Description
Homemade pastries for tea. In many countries, turkey is a traditional holiday dish; its meat is dietary and filling. Here, it's difficult to buy a whole bird since chicken is more popular, but turkey breast or thigh is readily available. That's why one of my favorite holiday pie recipes features turkey. I prepare it very rarely, usually only for special occasions. Serve cooled or slightly warm.

Step 1
1. I take the dough out of the packaging and leave it to thaw, while in the meantime I'll prepare the filling. I wash the white part of the leek and slice it into half-rings. I sauté it in a pan with sunflower oil until soft.

4. Roll out the dough, but not too thin, transfer it to a baking pan, and use your fingers to spread it evenly over the entire surface. Prick the dough with a fork to prevent it from puffing up.
