225g (8oz) chestnut mushrooms, quartered

Pre-heat the oven to 180º C/350º F/Gas Mark 4. Meanwhile, heat the oil in a deep- sided frying pan and fry the onion and carrots for a few minutes until softened.

Add the cooked turkey to the onion and carrots and stir in the mustard and mushrooms. Cook for a further 3-4 minutes.

Make a little room in the base of the pan and add the flour. Stir the milk into the pan and simmer the mixture until thickened. Season well. Spoon into an ovenproof dish.

Roll out the pastry and cut into 8 long strips. Brush the pastry with a little milk and twist each strip. Arrange them over the mixture in a criss-cross pattern. Bake for 40 minutes. Spoon the pie on to plates, garnish with parsley and serve with steamed vegetables of your choice.
