Expert Tips That I Recommend
- Cool the filling before adding it to the pastry, as a warm filling can make the pastry soggy.
- Cook the mushrooms just until they release their moisture. Excess liquid can make the pie watery.
- When you stir the flour into the mushroom mixture, cook it properly so the flour loses its raw flavor.
- Keep the filling thick; it should be creamy in texture before you add it to the pastry.
- Chill the pastry for a flaky, crisp crust.
Recipe Variation for Different Diets
- Keto Version: Replace regular flour with almond flour; also use almond flour pastry instead of regular pastry. Instead of crème fraiche, use full-fat crème fraiche.
- Gluten-Free Version: Use shortcut pastry dough instead of regular pastry dough. Add gluten-free crème fraiche to the recipe.

Equipment

- Knife

Method
- Add butter to a hot pan over medium heat. Add the leek to the pan when the butter melts. Cook them for about 3 to 4 minutes until they soften. Remove them from the pan and set them aside to cool. Now, add mushrooms and ham to the same pan over medium heat. Cook them (about 5 minutes) until the mushrooms soften.
- Add plain flour to the pan and stir for a few minutes (make sure there are no lumps). Now add chicken stock to this pan and stir. As it starts boiling, add creme fraiche to the pan and let it simmer for a few minutes. Let this sauce reduce and thicken.
- Remove the sauce from the heat and stir in the leeks and turkey pieces. Add parsley and set this turkey filling aside. Let it cool completely before baking it into the pie.
- In a medium-sized pie dish, transfer the turkey and ham filling. Roll the pastry using a rolling pin on a floured surface. Cover the pie dish with this pastry and trim the excess pastry with a sharp knife and seal the edges of the pan with the pastry dough. You can make a small hole in the center of this pastry lid to let the steam escape.
- Brush the crust of the pastry with egg and bake it for about 40 to 50 minutes until the pastry is crispy and golden brown.

FAQs About Gordon Ramsay’s Turkey And Ham Pie Recipe
Why is the pie pastry soggy?
The pastry usually turns soggy when the filling is too hot or too watery. Before adding, let the filling cool down and make sure the sauce has reduced and thickened well.
Why did the sauce become lumpy?
The sauce turns lumpy when the flour is not mixed properly. You need to stir the flour in the pan, then gradually add the chicken stock while mixing
Should I put pastry at the bottom of pie?
Yes, you can, but adding a pastry liner is a simpler option that will prevent the recipe from getting soggy. If you want to use a pastry-based liner at the bottom, make sure you blind-bake it before adding it to improve the texture.
What should I do if the filling is too watery?
If the filling is too watery or runny, keep it on the simmer and allow the excess liquid to evaporate. You can also add a cornstarch slurry to it to improve the texture.
