7. Assemble the pot pie. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
8. Roll out the dough to 1/4-inch thickness and a few inches larger than your pie pan. Gently fold the dough in half and in one movement and lift it off the rolling surface and into the pan. Unfold the dough and gently ease it into the over dish. Don’t stretch the dough down into the pan or when it heats up in the oven, it will bounce back and shrink.

10. Scoop the turkey mixture into the pie pan, mounding in the middle if needed. Top with the reserved disc of rolled out pie dough. Crimp the edge with the tines of a fork or flute the edge by pinching your knuckle into the middle of the index and middle finger of your opposite hand and repeat along the edges of the crust.
11. Cut 3 to 5 vents in the top of the pie. Whisk 1 egg and brush on the top of the pie dough. Bake for 45-50 minutes.
