Transform your leftover turkey into a comforting and delicious pot pie with a creamy filling and flaky crust.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 1 cup chopped onion
  • 1 cup chopped carrots
  • 1 cup chopped celery
  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/4 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 2 cups turkey or chicken broth
  • 1 cup milk
  • 3 cups cooked, chopped turkey
  • 1 cup frozen peas
  • 1 recipe for pie crust (double crust)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. Melt butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add onion, carrots, and celery. Cook until softened, about 5-7 minutes.
  3. Stir in flour, salt, pepper, and thyme. Cook for 1 minute, stirring constantly.
  4. Gradually whisk in broth and milk until smooth. Bring to a simmer, stirring constantly, until thickened.
  5. Stir in chopped turkey and frozen peas.
  6. Pour the filling into a 9-inch pie plate.
  7. Place the bottom pie crust into the pie plate. Pour the turkey filling into the crust.
  8. Cover with the top crust. Crimp the edges to seal and cut several slits in the top crust to allow steam to escape.
  9. Bake for 30-40 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbly.
  10. Let stand for 10 minutes before serving.

Notes

  • For an even quicker meal, use a store-bought pie crust.
  • You can substitute other leftover cooked vegetables for the carrots and celery.
  • If you don’t have leftover turkey, cooked chicken can be used instead.
  • Consider this a great alternative to traditional meal planning services.
