Pot pie is such a classic and this Turkey Pot Pie is just like the classic chicken recipe.

It works perfectly to use any leftover turkey up. We always have a large turkey for Thanksgiving, specifically for leftovers, so this is one of the best recipes for turkey leftovers.

For this recipe, you can use a store-bought crust or make your own. If you plan on making your own check out my recipe for homemade pie crust.

How to make Turkey Pot Pie:

Turkey Pot Pie is exactly like Chicken pot pie just with a different meat used.

Make your own pie crust using my recipe or buy one at the store. Dice up and cube your already cooked turkey and mix all your ingredients in a pot.

Once cooked put it in your pie and bake.

Ingredients:

  • Pie Crust – store-bought or homemade will work for this recipe.

Pot Pie Filling:

  • Butter: I used unsalted butter. If you have salted just use less salt when seasoning.
  • Onion: White onion that has been diced.
  • All-Purpose Flour
  • Broth: I used chicken broth, but vegetable broth would work as well.
  • Milk: Any milk you have on hand will work I use 2%.
  • Turkey: cooked and diced. This recipe works great with leftovers.
  • Frozen Mixed Vegetables: I used carrots, peas, corn, and green beans.
  • Seasoning: I used dried thyme, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, & pepper.

Directions:

Step One: Get started by preheating your oven to 425 degrees. Then prepare the pie crust and set aside.

Step Two: Next prepare your filling. In a saucepan over medium heat melt butter then add your diced onions and sauté for 2-3 minutes.

Can you freeze a Pot Pie?

I do not recommend freezing a pot pie. The dough becomes very soggy when thawing, and it does not do well once thawed.

I recommend only refrigerating for about five days.
