In deep 12″ skillet over medium-high heat, heat oil; add celery, carrots,

vegetables are lightly browned.  Add garlic; cook 1 minute.  Stir in
chicken broth.  Reduce heat to low; simmer, covered, 25 minutes until
vegetables are tender.

Meanwhile, heat oven to 425 degrees; have ready four 8″ oval gratin
dishes.

If using homemade pastry, roll out on lightly floured surface to 1/8″
thickness; or unfold all-ready piecrusts.  Using bottom of one gratin dish
as pattern, cut out 1 “lids”; cut out small hole in center of each and
several slits as vents for steam.  Arrange on ungreased large cookie
sheet; brush with egg-yolk mixture (1 egg yolk and 1 Tbsp. water).  Bake
10 to 12 minutes until lightly browned.

In small saucepan over medium heat, melt butter; add flour; stir until
smooth.  Cook 2 minutes, stirring frequently; remove from heat.  Stir
mixture gradually into vegetables simmering in skillet; cook 2 to 3
minutes longer, stirring occasionally until thickened.  Stir in peas and
turkey; remove from heat.

Spoon mixture into gratin dishes, dividing evenly.  Place pastry lid on
top of each; bake 5 to 10 minutes until filling is heated through.
