Dee's Turkey Pot Pie is a comforting and hearty dish perfect for a cold winter day. This classic recipe features tender turkey, flavorful vegetables, and a creamy sauce all wrapped in a flaky, golden crust. With its combination of savory flavors and textures, this pot pie is sure to be a hit with the whole family.
The recipe starts with a rich and flavorful turkey filling. Ground turkey is cooked with onions, celery, carrots, and peas until tender. A creamy sauce made with flour, butter, and milk is then added to the filling, along with a blend of herbs and spices. The mixture is simmered until thickened and flavorful.
Once the filling is complete, it's time to assemble the pot pie. A flaky, buttery crust is rolled out and placed in a pie dish. The turkey filling is poured into the crust, and the remaining crust is placed on top. The edges of the crust are crimped together, and the pot pie is baked in the oven until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbly.
In addition to the classic turkey pot pie recipe, the article also includes variations for chicken pot pie and vegetable pot pie. The chicken pot pie is made with a similar filling to the turkey pot pie, but with chicken instead of turkey. The vegetable pot pie is a meatless option that's packed with vegetables like carrots, celery, peas, and corn.
No matter which recipe you choose, you're sure to enjoy this classic comfort food. With its creamy filling, flaky crust, and savory flavors, Dee's Turkey Pot Pie is a dish that the whole family will love.

Steps:
- Preheat an oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C).
- 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; stir the cooked vegetables and turkey meat into the filling until well combined.
- Fit 2 pie crusts into the bottom of 2 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.

TURKEY POTPIE
No one knows when people started making pies, but they were common in medieval Middle Eastern and European cooking. "The Oxford Companion to Food" speculates that the English word may come from the word "magpie," because magpies collect random items in the way a pie often houses varied ingredients. It's appropriate, then, that this pie is here to accommodate your Thanksgiving leftovers: turkey, of course, but also leftover roasted squash or sautéed mushrooms in place of peas, chop up half a rutabaga instead of carrot and celery, or a stray leek or shallot instead of onion. Any fresh soft herbs can go in the biscuit topping. For an even simpler version, use canned biscuits arranged on top of the filling as the crust, or defrosted puff pastry with a vent cut in the middle. For a more assertive flavor, use the larger amount of mustard.

Steps:
- Make the biscuit dough: In a large bowl, combine the flour, baking powder and salt. Add the cold chunks of butter and toss to coat. Using your fingers, pinch, smear and squeeze the butter into the flour until the butter pieces are the size of a penny or the size of a pea. There's no need for perfection, but the butter should be evenly distributed throughout the flour, and each butter bit should be coated in flour. Stir in the chives and herbs. Pour the buttermilk into the mixture and mix it briefly and gently with a fork, just until a shaggy dough forms. Cover and put the dough in the refrigerator while you make the filling.
- Make the filling: Heat the oven to 400 degrees. In an oven-safe 10-inch skillet, melt the butter over medium-high heat. Add the onion, season lightly with salt, and cook, stirring occasionally, until translucent and shrunken, 6 to 8 minutes. Add the garlic, carrot and celery, and cook, stirring, until fragrant and slightly softened, about 3 minutes. Add the flour and the onion powder, and cook, stirring constantly, until the flour is completely incorporated with the vegetables, about 1 minute. Whisk in the chicken broth, mustard, Worcestershire and lemon juice, and cook, whisking, until the mixture comes to a bubble. Let it cook, whisking once or twice, until it thickens to lightly coat the back of a spoon, about 2 minutes. Stir in the turkey and the peas. Season generously with black pepper; taste and season with additional salt if desired. Remove pan from the heat.
- Evenly scatter the biscuit dough over the top of the filling, in golfball-size clumps. (Don't press or roll the dough into neat balls, which can make the biscuits tough.) Put the skillet on a foil-lined sheet pan to catch any drips and bake in the oven until the filling is bubbling and the biscuits are lightly browned, 35 minutes. (If using canned biscuits or puff pastry, the cook time will be closer to 25 minutes. Check the package directions for a guide.)
Tips:
- Make sure to use high-quality ingredients for the best flavor.
- Don't be afraid to experiment with different vegetables and seasonings to create your own unique pot pie.
- If you're short on time, you can use pre-cooked turkey or chicken instead of cooking your own.
- To save even more time, you can use a store-bought pie crust instead of making your own.
- Be careful not to overcook the pot pie, as this can make the filling dry and tough.
Conclusion:
Dee's Turkey Pot Pie is a delicious and comforting dish that's perfect for a cold winter day. The creamy filling is packed with tender turkey, vegetables, and herbs, and the flaky crust is the perfect finishing touch. Whether you're making it from scratch or using some shortcuts, this pot pie is sure to be a hit with your family and friends.
