"Works really well. I adjust the amount of stock/liquid to get a thick-ish sauce, and have never had it "fail". Make a dbl batch and "bing" there's lunch for tomorrow (and the next day, and ...). Well worth making." - Scornflake

2 Cover with the cream and stock and simmer until it starts to thicken. Finish by adding the turkey, ham, mushrooms, cayenne and herbs. Season to taste.

3 Take off the heat and pour into a 1-pint ceramic pie dish. Roll out enough pastry to cover the dish and cut a strip to edge the rim of the dish. Press down firmly and seal all around. Brush with beaten egg and sprinkle with Parmesan. Cook until golden.

Works really well. I adjust the amount of stock/liquid to get a thick-ish sauce, and have never had it 'fail'. Make a dbl batch and 'bing' there's lunch for tomorrow (and the next day, and ...). Well worth making.

I thought it was very good and easy to make. It didn't really ' pour' though, so don't expect something soupy.

Very good dish. Except my puff pastry didn't rise? Not sure what I did wrong, but I will definitely make this again.

Great way to use up Christmas left-overs!
