Categories     Poultry

Time 1h20m

Yield 8-10 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 15

2 cups frozen peas and carrots
2 cups frozen green beans
1 cup sliced celery
2/3 cup butter
2/3 cup chopped onion
2/3 cup all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon ground black pepper
1/2 teaspoon celery seed
1/2 teaspoon onion powder
1/2 teaspoon italian seasoning
1 3/4 cups chicken broth
1 1/3 cups milk
4 cups cubed cooked turkey, light and dark meat mixed
four unbaked 9-inch pie shell

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 425.
  • Place the peas and carrots, green beans, and celery into a saucepan. Cover with water, bring to a boil, and simmer over medium-low heat until the celery is tender, about 8 minutes.
  • Drain the vegetables in a colander set in the sink and set aside.
  • Melt the butter in a saucepan over medium heat, and cook the onion until translucent, about 5 minutes.
  • Stir in 2/3 cup of flour, salt, black pepper, celery seed, onion powder, and Italian seasoning. Slowly whisk in the chicken broth and milk until the mixture comes to a simmer and thickens. Remove from heat and stir the cooked vegetables and turkey meat into the filling until well combined.
  • Fit 2 pie crusts into the bottom of two 9 inch pie dishes. Spoon half the filling into each pie crust, then top each pie with another crust. Pinch and roll the top and bottom crusts together at the edge of each pie to seal, and cut several small slits into the top of the pies with a sharp knife to release steam.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until the crusts are golden brown and the filling is bubbly, 30 to 35 minutes. If the crusts are browning too quickly, cover the pies with aluminum foil after about 15 minutes.
  • Cool for 10 minutes before serving.

Tips:

  • To make the pot pie filling more flavorful, use a combination of light and dark meat turkey. If you only have one type of meat, you can add some chopped bacon or sausage to the filling.
  • Don't overcook the vegetables. They should be tender but still have a bit of crunch.
  • Use a good quality pie crust. You can make your own or use a store-bought crust.
  • If you don't have a pie plate, you can use a 9x13 inch baking dish.
  • To prevent the top crust from getting too brown, cover the pie with foil during the first 30 minutes of baking.
  • Let the pot pie cool for at least 15 minutes before serving. This will help the filling to set.
