Turkey Pot Pie

1. Preheat oven to 375F.
2. Place one crust in deep dish pie plate. Line with waxed paper and fill with dry beans or weights. Bake for 15 minutes. Remove from oven to a cooling rack. Remove beans and wax paper.
3. Meanwhile, boil potatoes for 5 to 10 minutes until tender, but not falling apart. Microwave peas for 3 minutes.
4. Line the pie crust with turkey. Add the potatoes and peas. Combine parsley, tarragon, black pepper (and other herbs and spices as desired). Sprinkle over vegetables in the pie plate.
5. Combine the cornstarch and milk in a medium pan, stirring until smooth. Add butter and pepper. Bring to boil, stirring constantly; reduce heat, lightly boil 1 minute. Add gravy (or broth) and stir. Stir and cook until thickened. Pour the sauce over the meat and vegetables in the pie plate.
6. Cover the pie with top crust; crimp edges.  Make six ½-inch slits in the crust to allow steam to escape.
7. Bake at 375F for about 1 hour, until contents are bubbling through the slits in the crust.
