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.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
- Melt butter in a skillet or dutch oven. Add onion, carrots, and celery, and cook until translucent (a couple of minutes.)
- Add turkey and stir. Sprinkle flour over mixture and stir. Cook over medium heat for a couple of minutes, stirring constantly.
- Pour in chicken or turkey broth, stirring constantly. Splash in wine (you can leave this out if you'd like.) Pour in cream. (May add frozen peas at this point if you'd like.)
- Bring to a slow boil and allow mixture to cook and thicken for a few minutes. Add salt and pepper to taste (do not underseason), and fresh or dried thyme to taste. Do one final taste at the end and add what it needs.
- Pour mixture into a casserole dish or deep pie pan.
- Roll out crust so that it's about 1 inch larger than the pan you're using.
- Place the crust on top of the pot pie mixture, and press crust into the sides of the dish. Cut vents in the top of the crust.
- Bake for 30-40 minutes or until very golden and bubbly and the crust is done.
- Allow to cool for a little bit before serving.
- Serve with a large spoon.
TURKEY POT PIE WITH STUFFING CRUST (USING LEFTOVERS)
This is my favorite pot pie to use up those holiday leftovers. I tend to make more stuffing and gravy then I need for the meal so that I can use up the leftover turkey in this way. I love the crispy stuffing crust on the top. The gravy keeps the potpie from being dry.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees (176 celsius).
- Cook vegetable mix according to package instructions; drain well.
- Mix together turkey, vegetables, garlic powder, sage, salt and pepper in a large bowl.
- If using a bottom pie crust, line a 9 x 13 rectangular cake pan with crust; prick all over and pre-bake until light brown.
- Spoon vegetable and turkey mixture into the 9 x 13 rectangular cake pan.
- Pour gravy over the vegetable/turkey mixture.
- Top with stuffing, spreading evenly over all.
- Bake for 30 minutes or until hot and the stuffing crust is brown and crispy.
Tips:
- If you don't have leftover turkey, you can use rotisserie chicken or even cooked chicken breast.
- To make a vegetarian version of this pot pie, omit the turkey and add more vegetables, such as carrots, celery, and peas.
- For a creamier pot pie, add 1/2 cup of heavy cream to the filling.
- If you don't have puff pastry on hand, you can use a store-bought pie crust or even mashed potatoes as a topping.
- To make sure the pot pie is cooked through, insert a toothpick into the center. If it comes out clean, the pot pie is done.
Conclusion:
Grandma's Leftover Turkey Pot Pie is a delicious and easy way to use up leftover turkey. It's a hearty and comforting dish that the whole family will love. So next time you have leftover turkey, don't let it go to waste. Make this pot pie instead!
