In a large skillet, over medium heat, sauté turkey, garlic, onion and green bell pepper until turkey is no longer pink in color, onions are transparent and green bell peppers are tender- crisp.

Carefully, spread one half the meat mixture to within 1 inch of one half of pie crust.

Brush exposed 1 inch of pie crust with egg white.

Using a fork, press edges of crust together.
