One of the most ubiquitous casseroles around, the pot pie has many incarnations, both good and bad—but when it’s good, it’s memorable.

Directions

1. Step

Heat the oven to 400°F and arrange a rack in the middle. Coat a 3-by-9-inch baking dish with butter and set aside.

2. Step

Melt the measured butter over medium heat in a large frying pan until foaming. Add the onions and sage and cook until the sage aroma is released.

3. Step

Add the potato, celery, and carrots and season well with salt and pepper. Cook until the carrots and onions are just beginning to soften, about 6 minutes.

4. Step

Remove the mixture from heat, stir in the peas, parsley, and creamed turkey, and season with additional salt and pepper.

5. Step

Turn the filling into the prepared baking dish. Whisk the egg together with the water and a pinch of salt until evenly mixed. Set aside.

6. Step

With kitchen shears, cut the dough to fit over the baking dish. Place the dough over the filling and tuck it into the edges of the dish.

7. Step

Brush the dough with the egg wash and cut 10 evenly distributed slits in the top to vent. Cook until the crust is golden brown and the mixture is bubbling, about 30 to 35 minutes. Let sit 10 minutes before serving.
