Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 2 tablespoons avocado oil or olive oil
  • 3 cups diced potato (about 1 pound)
  • 1 cup diced celery
  • 1 cup diced carrots
  • 1 onion, diced
  • 3 cups turkey or chicken broth
  • 1 tablespoon fresh thyme or 1 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 2 tablespoons arrowroot powder or cornstarch
  • 23 cups cooked and chopped turkey or chicken
  • 1 cup frozen peas
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground pepper
  • 6 (14 by 9 inch) sheets frozen phyllo dough, thawed
  • cooking spray

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 375 degrees.
  2. In a large Dutch oven or stock pot, heat the oil over medium heat.  Add the potatoes, celery, carrots, and onion and sauté about 5 minutes.
  3. Add the broth and bring to a boil.  Reduce the heat to a simmer.
  4. Put the arrowroot powder in a small bowl.  Add enough of the hot broth to create a slurry (about 2 tablespoons).  Stir the slurry into the vegetable mixture and turn off the heat.
  5. Add the turkey or chicken, peas, salt, and pepper.
  6. Transfer the mixture to a 3-quart baking dish.  Add one sheet of phyllo dough on top of the mixture.  Spray it with your cooking oil.  Continue this process until you have 6 layers of phyllo dough.
  7. Place the baking dish on a baking sheet. Bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes, until the top is golden brown.  Enjoy!
