A creamy, one-pan dinner using Thanksgiving leftovers to create a golden, flaky pot pie.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 cups cooked, shredded turkey
  • 1 cup frozen mixed vegetables (peas, carrots, corn)
  • 1/2 cup chopped onion
  • 1/2 cup chopped celery
  • 1/4 cup butter
  • 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 cups turkey broth
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 2 refrigerated pie crusts
  • 1 egg, beaten (for egg wash)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit. Lightly grease a 9-inch pie plate.
  2. In a large saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter. Add the onion and celery and cook until softened, about 5 minutes.
  3. Stir in the flour and cook for 1 minute, stirring constantly.
  4. Gradually whisk in the turkey broth until the mixture is smooth. Bring to a simmer and cook until the sauce thickens, about 5 minutes.
  5. Stir in the heavy cream, cooked turkey, frozen vegetables, thyme, salt, and pepper. Heat through. This filling is great for quick meal planning.
  6. Pour the turkey mixture into the prepared pie plate.
  7. Place one pie crust over the filling. Trim the edges and crimp them to seal. Cut a few slits in the top crust to allow steam to escape.
  8. Brush the top crust with the beaten egg wash.
  9. Bake for 30 to 35 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbly.
  10. Let the pot pie cool for 10 minutes before slicing and serving.

Notes

  • If you do not have leftover turkey broth, you can substitute with chicken broth.
  • For an extra flaky crust, chill the assembled pie in the refrigerator for 15 minutes before baking.
  • This recipe is a simple alternative to complicated meal delivery companies when you need a fast, satisfying dinner.
