INSTRUCTIONS Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Lightly oil four 10-ounce ramekins or coat with nonstick spray. To make the filling, melt butter in a large skillet over medium high heat. Add garlic, onion, corn, carrots and peas and cook, stirring occasionally, until onions become translucent, about 2
minutes. Whisk in flour until lightly browned, about 1 minute. Gradually whisk in chicken broth, milk and thyme, and cook, whisking constantly, until slightly thickened, about 1-2 minutes. Stir in turkey; season with salt and pepper, to taste. Divide the filling evenly into the ramekins.
Top with puff pastry and gently cut 4 vents in the top of the crust. Brush each crust with the beaten egg. Place into oven and bake until the crust is golden brown, about 20 minutes. Let cool 5 minutes before serving.
