Time 1h30m

Yield 12

Number Of Ingredients 15

2 cups frozen peas and carrots
2 cups frozen green beans
1 cup sliced celery
⅔ cup butter
⅔ cup chopped onion
⅔ cup all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon ground black pepper
½ teaspoon celery seed
½ teaspoon onion powder
½ teaspoon Italian seasoning
1 ¾ cups chicken broth
1 ⅓ cups milk
4 cups cubed cooked turkey meat - light and dark meat mixed
4 (9 inch) unbaked pie crusts

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.

LEFTOVER TURKEY POT PIE



Leftover Turkey Pot Pie image

This is a great recipe for using up Thanksgiving Day leftovers with just a few extra ingredients. I leave out the potatoes since we've usually had enough potatoes since Thanksgiving dinner. You may want to add a few cooked and diced.

Provided by Scott

Categories     Main Dish Recipes     Savory Pie Recipes     Pot Pie Recipes     Turkey Pot Pie Recipes

Time 1h10m

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 14

4 (9 inch) frozen pie crusts, thawed
1 cup frozen corn
1 cup frozen peas
1 cup frozen diced carrots
2 cups diced cooked turkey
1 cup gravy
1 cup diced leftover green beans
1 tablespoon bacon bits
1 teaspoon dried parsley
1 teaspoon dried sage
1 teaspoon dried thyme
ground black pepper to taste
1 egg, beaten
1 teaspoon water

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Line 2 pie dishes with prepared pie crusts.
  • Stir corn, peas, and carrots together in a microwave-safe glass or ceramic bowl and cover the bowl with plastic wrap. Cook in the microwave until tender, 2 to 6 minutes.
  • Stir corn mixture, turkey, gravy, green beans, bacon bits, parsley, sage, thyme, and black pepper together in a large bowl. Divide turkey mixture even between the two prepared pie dishes. Place remaining crusts over the top of each pie, trim pastry to fit, crimp and pinch the edges together to seal. Cut 4 slits in the top of each pie.
  • Whisk egg and water together in a small bowl. Brush egg mixture over the top of each pie. Fold a strip of aluminum foil around the outer edges of each pie crust.

Tips:

  • Use a variety of vegetables. This will make your pot pie more flavorful and nutritious. Some good choices include carrots, celery, peas, and potatoes.
  • Don't overcook the vegetables. You want them to be tender but still have a bit of crunch.
  • Use a good quality pie crust. This will make a big difference in the overall flavor of your pot pie. You can use a store-bought pie crust or make your own.
  • Don't overcrowd the pot pie. This will prevent the filling from cooking evenly.
  • Bake the pot pie until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbling. This will take about 30 minutes.
  • Let the pot pie cool for a few minutes before serving. This will help the filling to set.

Conclusion:

Leftover turkey pot pie is a delicious and easy way to use up your Thanksgiving leftovers. It's a hearty and comforting dish that the whole family will love. So next time you have some leftover turkey, give this recipe a try. You won't be disappointed!
