Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).

Cook diced turkey in a skillet over medium heat until browned, about 5-7 minutes.

Add chopped onion, celery, and garlic to the skillet; sauté until softened, about 4-5 minutes.

Stir in diced carrots and potatoes; cook for another 3-4 minutes.

Sprinkle flour over the mixture and stir to coat; cook for 1-2 minutes until flour is absorbed.

Gradually add chicken broth and milk, stirring constantly until the mixture thickens, about 5 minutes.

Season with thyme, black pepper, and salt; mix in peas and remove from heat.

Roll out one pie crust and fit it into a pie dish; pour turkey mixture into the crust.

Cover with the second pie crust, sealing the edges and cutting slits for steam.

Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, until the crust is golden brown.

Let the pie cool for 10 minutes before serving.
