Leftover Thanksgiving Turkey Pot Pie
This Leftover Thanksgiving Turkey Pot Pie is really good! And, who doesn't love a Pot Pie? Pot pies bring back memories of childhood eating those little pot pies from Swanson that you had to patiently wait for them to finish cooking because we didn't have microwaves.  When you have left over turkey from the holidays or just a rotisserie chicken, this is perfect  any time of the year.

This pie is loaded with vegetables and turkey in a creamy sauce, then baked in a pastry crust until golden brown. It is absolutely flaky and delicious. There is no reason rally to serve anything else with this dish. If you do a nice green salad would be perfect.

I used Pillsbury pie dough that you find in the refrigerated section of your grocery store, usually by the butter because I wanted to make this recipe even easier than it already was. And let’s face it, these pie crust are hard to beat! Here’s a link for the crust:https://www.pillsbury.com/products/pie-crust.

Servings 6 servings

Ingredients
  

  • 2 tbsp butter
  • 1 tbsp oil
  • 1/2 large onion chopped or one small
  • 1 cup celery, chopped
  • 2 cups carrots, thinly sliced or diced
  • 3 cups potatoes, diced
  • 4 tbsp flour
  • 4 cups chicken or turkey broth
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper
  • 1/2 tsp fresh thyme
  • 1/2 tsp ground savory
  • zest of one lemon
  • 3 cups chicken, diced
  • 2 cups frozen green peas
  • 1 package Pillsbury pie crust

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 350. In a large saucepan, heat the butter and oil over medium heat. Add the onions, celery, and carrots and cook until the onions are translucent. Add the flour, stir to combine, and cook for about 2 minutes,
  • Add the chicken broth, whisking or stirring constantly to prevent lumping. Add the potatoes and cook, stirring occasionally until the sauce has thickened and the potatoes and carrots are tender. Gently fold in the chicken and the green peas and remove from the heat.
  • Add the bottom crust to your cassserole dish, no need to add butter or oil. You may need to roll out a little to enlarge for your dish! Pour your pot pie mixture in. Place your remaining rolled out pie crust on the top and seal the edges. Add a few slits on the top to release the steam. Bake until golden brown! Serve hot. Leftovers are great the next day. You can also make individual pot pies and freeze before cooking. I do this a lot for my Mom.
