Turkey Pot Pie

What are you doing with your leftover turkey? This turkey pot pie is a perfect and comforting way to use up some of those leftovers. Super easy to make and loved by all.

ingredients for turkey pot pie - turkey, butter, milk, frozen vegetables, broth, onion, salt, pepper and flour

Just a few steps…

Make the roux, add the turkey and veggies, pour into the pie crust, and bake! How easy is that?!

Don’t let the fancy word “roux” throw you off, it’s just butter and flour browned up a bit, then you add the broth and milk and let it thicken. It’s how you get that creamy white sauce, mmm!

I could actually just eat the turkey/veggie mixture by itself, like soup. It is so good.

A word about crusts…

First, I’m not a master baker. I’m not a master fancy crust decorator lady. Okay? So, the perfectionist in me does not like to post pictures that don’t meet my standards, but hey, I’m improving, you may have noticed my dark edges on the crust.

Which brings me to my next point. When baking this, I usually put some foil around the edge of the crust. That’s usually the part that gets done first. When it’s close to the cooking time coming to an end, take it off and it will brown up perfectly.

My crusts always seem to brown up before the food is ready. Then I have a crust that’s too dark. If anyone has the science to this, please, let me know!

One more thing about the crust. You can use home made pie crust (my personal favorite), or you can use store bought. Just be sure that if you buy it, buy a deep dish crust.

If you make it, make sure you use a deep dish pie plate. For perfect homemade crust, visit my friend Shiela’s blog, and check out her pie crust. That’s the one I make every time.

I use this same recipe for chicken pot pie, except of course, I use chicken instead of turkey. My whole family loves it.

There’s not enough left overs for all of us, so they are usually ‘calling it’ for leftovers. Yeah, I usually pull out the mom card on that one. hee hee. I made it, I did all the work, right? 😉

What’s your favorite way to use leftover turkey?

    better than adding cream of chicken soup! The roux just adds the right flavor for the flavor of the poultry and thee crust.

      I couldn’t agree more! I’m not a fan of canned cream soups. 🙂 Thanks for taking time to let me know how you’re enjoying it.

    I am so pinning this! I love pot pie, we didn’t have turkey for Thanksgiving, but I’m sure a rotisserie chicken would fit the bill. I can easily make the crust gluten free and this looks like it would warm us up from the inside out! Thanks!

      Yes! Perfect comfort food and its awesome with chicken too. You can even grill or poach some chicken breasts for this one. I’m so glad you can find substitutes in my recipes to meet your dietary needs. Thanks for pinning!!
