turkey pot pie
This is great for leftover Thanksgiving turkey! We actually eat a lot of turkey year round. Sometimes I buy one of the small Jennie O. half turkey breasts from the store and cut that up and saute it for this recipe.

How To Make turkey pot pie
-
Step 1Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
-
Step 2Separate 2/3 pie crust for bottom layer. I use two deep dish pies or 1 (9x13) baking dish. Roll crust out to cover the bottom of your pans. Chill top crust in the refrigerator while you partially bake the bottom crust and cook the filling.
-
Step 3Bake bottom layer at 400 degrees for 10- 15 minutes until halfway baked.
-
Step 4Meanwhile, melt 1 Tbsp. butter in pan and add celery. Saute for 6-8 minutes until celery starts to cook.
-
Step 5Mix together everything except remaining 1 Tbsp. butter.
-
Step 6Pour filling into dishes with half cooked pie crust. Roll out the top layer of the pie crust and cover top of pie/s. Bake at 400 degrees for 40-45 minutes or until top crust is golden brown. Brush with pie/s with 2 Tbsp. melted butter before serving.
-
Step 7TIP: I often use homemade crust in a 9x9 glass casserole or an appropriately sized iron skillet instead of ready made pie crusts and just make one big one instead of two regular pie shells.
