Challenge #26: Duck leftovers pie

ewtWe had duck for Christmas Day, just the two of us. Duck, and carrots, and mashed potato, and mushrooms, and stuffing (the breadcrumb kind, though I did include the giblets that came with the duck), and I made gravy in the end.
Boxing Day, we ate cheese, and my spouse stripped the carcass of the duck.
Post-Boxing Day, my dear spouse was back down the spreadsheet mines. I got some pre-rolled pastry out of the freezer at some point in the afternoon. When Himself arrived home, ravenous, I combined the leftovers in a big pan, realised I'd never heat them through that way, put them in a big rectangular pyrex dish wth some frozen peas on top, nuked them until hot (the dish only just fits in the microwave), and put the pastry on top. (I'd have preferred a filled pie with pastry on all the sides, but there wasn't anywhere near enough pastry for that.) Then I baked the entire thing until the pastry looked done, which wasn't very long.
I would have also added venison sausages wrapped in bacon, but the venison sausages I got this year were not very good at all.
It's good with the leftover cranberry sauce, extremely filling, and makes about six portions, which shows how much I overcatered on Christmas Day more than it shows anything else. Needs salt, though. Usually it doesn't because of the sausages.
