Ingredients

2 Tbsp. olive oil
1 1/2 cups frozen pearl onions
3 medium carrots, sliced 1/3 inch thick
2 small garlic cloves, finely chopped
1/3 cup chopped parsley
3 Tbsp. all-purpose flour
1 1/2 cups chicken broth
1 cup milk
1 Tbsp. Dijon mustard
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
2 1/2 cups shredded leftover roasted turkey breast meat
1 cup frozen peas
1 tsp. finely chopped sage, plus 6 whole leaves
6 sheets phyllo, thawed
Olive oil cooking spray

Directions

1. Step 1Preheat oven to 400°F. In a large skillet over medium-high heat, heat oil. Add frozen onions and cook, stirring occasionally, until golden, about 8 minutes. Reduce heat to medium, then add carrots and garlic. Cook until onions are brown and carrots are just tender, about 5 minutes. Stir in parsley and cook for 1 more minute.
2. Step 2Sprinkle vegetables with flour and cook, stirring, until flour turns golden brown, about 4 minutes. Add broth, milk, mustard, and salt and pepper to taste; then increase heat to medium-high. Cook, stirring frequently, until mixture thickens, about 6 minutes. Stir in turkey, peas, and chopped sage. Evenly divide mixture among six 1-cup ramekins.
3. Step 3Place 1 phyllo sheet horizontally on a work surface lightly sprayed with olive oil cooking spray. Cut vertically into 3 pieces, then stack. Cut in half to create 2 squares, stack again, then place a sage leaf between top 2 layers. Top 1 pot pie with phyllo squares and lightly spray with olive oil cooking spray. Repeat for remaining 5 phyllo sheets. Place pot pies on a baking sheet and bake until bubbling and golden brown, 20 to 25 minutes.
