Preheat the oven to 200C/ 400F.
Butter a medium-sized oven dish.
Melt the butter in a saucepan and add the leeks. Fry until soft and add the carrot. Now add the white wine and stock and turn up the heat so the alcohol in the wine burns off. Stir in the cream and the mustards. Allow to simmer for approx. 10 minutes until the liquid has reduced by 1/2.
Now add the shredded meats and warm through for a minute or two. Add the tarragon and season with salt and pepper. Be wary that the stock and meat will add their own saltiness. Pour the pie filling into the dish.
Roll out the pastry on a floured surface to about 3mm thick. Cut a little larger than the top of the oven dish and lightly place it on top of the filling. Lightly and evenly brush the pastry with milk and place in the oven to bake for 20 minutes. The pastry should be golden brown and puffy when you take it out.
Serve with blanched and buttered spring greens or leftover sprouts.
Boxing Day done.

Looks lovely, just what I need to make to use up the last of the turkey. Perfect to have after a wild walk on the beach. Thanks for sharing.
