Turkey Pot Pie

Turkey Pot Pie is an easy and comforting meal. You can make any time you have leftover chicken or turkey in the fridge. Unlike most pot pies, this only has a top crust, but the filling is so thick and rich. It's just like a hearty stew.

Turkey or Chicken

So this is called Turkey Pot Pie, but believe me turkey is 100% interchangeable with the same amount of chicken. In fact, here's a quick tip anytime you feel like a comforting pot pie mea. Buy a rotisserie chicken from the grocery store, chop up the meat, and use it in place of the leftover turkey. Delicious!

Crust Recipe

Any type of pie crust works beautifully. Simply make a pie crust, enough dough for a single crust 9" pie. See Perfect Pie Crust recipe. If it's during the holiday season and depending how many pies you made, you may have one crust left for this. Perfect!

Shortcuts

A can of cream of chicken soup offers a nice shortcut to make the filling super creamy. Another shortcut is to use store-bought, refrigerated pie crusts, though made from scratch crust is always the best.
