This is my daughter Noel's recipe for her Turkey Pot Pie. Our family loves home made pot pies! We have them several times a year. We make them with pork, beef, chicken and turkey. (The directions are the same for each type of meat pies, but you can add or change the veggies to your tastes). We make little individual ones or big family size ones... The children love to help make their own little pot pies. You can make the pies simple, rustic (as pictured) or fancy depending on your likes and time. This is easy and fun to make... Play with your food!

How To Make turkey pot pie !!!

Step 1

Pre-heat oven to 375 degrees.

Step 2

Put all pre-cooked ingredients into large sauce pan. Add spices. Heat well.
Step 3

Roll out pie crusts. Put bottom crusts into two pie pans.
Step 4

Put hot filling into pie crusts. Place top crust onto the filled pie crusts, and seal together well by pinching the crust gently. (You can do any type of edging you like. (Sometimes I crimp the edges by gentle pinches, sometimes by pressing edges with tines of a fork or handle of a knife). Most of the time I make a solid top crust with vents cut to release steam, sometimes I make a lattice top. (depending on time). *** OPTIONAL: Beat an egg well with 1 TBS of water. Brush this ontop of the pie crusts just prior to putting in oven.
Step 5

Place prepared pies onto baking sheets and put into pre-heated oven. Bake for 30 - 40 minutes, until crusts are light golden brown and the filling is bubbling.
Step 6

Remove pot pies from oven and let them sit and rest for about 10 minutes before cutting and serving. Serve on pretty plate with a side salad (optional). Enjoy!
Step 7

We use any extra crust to make a lattice that looks like a tic-tac-toe pattern # or cut into strips or circles. Bake them on cookie sheets. Place any extra filling into small dishes and top with the little crusts. Or place desired cooked pie fillings into fancy cups, bowl or stemmed glasses and place lattice crust on top as in photo. Fun way to use up left overs....
