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
- 2–3 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
- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees.
- 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.
- Add the broth and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to a simmer.
- 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.
- Add the turkey or chicken, peas, salt, and pepper.
- 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.
- Place the baking dish on a baking sheet. Bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes, until the top is golden brown. Enjoy!
