CATHA'S INDIVIDUAL TURKEY POT PIES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C).
• Melt butter in a large, 12-inch saute pan over medium heat. Add onions and cook, stirring occasionally, until just soft and translucent, about 5 minutes. Add potatoes, carrots, celery, and mushrooms and cook for another 4 minutes. Stir in garlic; cook for 1 minute. Add flour, thyme, sage, salt, and pepper; cook and stir for 1 minute more. Reduce heat to medium-low and slowly stir in chicken broth in order to avoid lumps. Bring back up to a simmer and cook until sauce thickens a bit, about 5 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in peas.
• Roll each portion of pie dough out to 1/8-inch thickness. Prepare 8 individual tins or crocks by placing one, upside-down, on the dough to imprint the size needed. Cut out 8 tops; make 4 to 5 small slits in each with a knife for venting. Set aside. Use remaining dough scraps to line the bottom of the tins/crocks.
• Fill the 8 crust-lined tins with 1 1/4 to 1 1/2 cups of pot pie filling. Lay the prepared crust tops over the filling and seal with your fingers or the tines of a fork.
• Bake in the preheated oven until crusts are golden and filling is bubbly, about 30 minutes. Let cool for 10 to 15 minutes before serving.
