Preheat oven to 400\u00b0F. Grease a 9 1/2 inch pie dish. To make the pastry, mix 2 3/4 cups flour, 1 cup diced butter, 1 egg and 1 pinch of salt then knead until smooth. Roll out 2/3 of dough on a floured surface into a 12 inch circle. Line the pie dish and trim excess. Prick base with a fork and chill for 30 mins. Knead remaining pastry, wrap in plastic wrap and chill.
For the bechamel sauce, melt 3 tbsp butter in a saucepan. Add 1/4 cup flour and cook until golden. Add stock and 1 1/2 cups milk, stirring. Bring to a boil then simmer for 5-8 mins. Season and add nutmeg, to taste. Set aside to cool, stirring occasionally.
Meanwhile, cook peas in boiling salted water, drain then rinse under cold running water. Heat oil in a frying pan, saute turkey for 4 mins and season. Add peas, garlic and leeks and saute for 2 mins. Transfer to pie dish then roll remaining dough out on a floured surface to a 9 1/2 inch circle and cut a small hole in the center. Beat egg with 2-3 tbsp milk then brush edge of pastry shell and cover filling with top crust. Press edges together to seal.
