First things first, let's talk ingredients. We're keeping it real here, so no fancy pants stuff. You'll need:

• 500g of turkey mince (or ground turkey, if you're across the pond)
• 300g of diced ham
• 2 onions, finely chopped
• 2 carrots, diced
• 2 sticks of celery, diced
• 2 cloves of garlic, minced
• 2 tbsp of plain flour
• 500ml of chicken stock
• 2 tbsp of tomato purée
• 1 tbsp of Worcestershire sauce
• Salt and pepper, to taste
• 500g of ready-rolled puff pastry
• 1 egg, beaten (for egg wash)

Now, don't go rolling your eyes at the sight of ready-rolled pastry. We're all about keeping it simple and delicious here!

Time To Get Cooking!

Preheat your oven to 200°C (180°C fan) or Gas Mark 6. Grab a large pan, chuck in a glug of oil, and get it hot. Throw in your onions, carrots, celery, and garlic. Let them sweat it out for a few minutes until they're soft.

Next up, add your turkey and ham to the pan. Stir it all around until the meat is browned. Sprinkle over the flour and give it a good mix. Cook for a minute or two, then pour in the chicken stock, tomato purée, and Worcestershire sauce. Season with salt and pepper, then let it simmer for 20-25 minutes, until the sauce has thickened.

While you're waiting, grab a pie dish (around 23cm in diameter) and line it with your pastry. Press it in gently, leaving some pastry hanging over the edges. Once your filling's ready, spoon it into the pastry case, smoothing it out with the back of a spoon.

Now, it's time to get creative! Roll out the leftover pastry and cut out shapes to decorate the top of your pie. I'm talking stars, leaves, whatever takes your fancy. Brush the edges of the pastry with egg wash, then pop your decorations on top. Seal the edges with a fork and brush the whole lot with egg wash.

Pop your pie in the oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the pastry is golden brown and crispy. Let it rest for a few minutes before serving. Trust me, it's worth the wait!
