  • Season with salt and pepper. Add the flour and cook for two minutes.
  • Add the broth and bring to a simmer. Cook until thickened; about 5 minutes
  • Take the mixture off of the heat and add the heavy cream. Add the thyme, peas, and turkey and mix well.
  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
  • Add the mixture evenly to four ramekins.
  • Lightly beat the egg white and brush the edges of the ramekin.
  • Lay the puff pastry squares over the top of each ramekin. Brush with egg whites and puncture top two times with a knife to vent.
  • Bake for 20-25 minutes or until the tops are golden brown and the filling is bubbling.
