2 cloves garlic, minced
1 tsp dried thyme
1 tsp fresh parsley (or ½ tsp dried)
½ cup milk or cream

Instructions

Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). Roll out one pie crust into a baking dish and trim edges.
In a skillet over medium heat, melt butter and sauté diced onion until translucent. Add minced garlic and cook for another minute.
Stir in shredded turkey and frozen vegetables. Pour in chicken broth and milk or cream, adding herbs, salt, and pepper; mix well until heated through.
Optional: If desired, sprinkle flour to thicken the filling while stirring constantly.
Spoon filling into the prepared crust. Lay the second crust on top; pinch edges to seal and cut slits for steam.
Bake for 30-35 minutes or until crust is golden brown. Cool slightly before serving.
