Chicken Pot Pie With Celery Seed Pastry image

Source: Betty Crocker's cookbook. This is always a favorite and pretty simple. I've cooked this for years every year following our Thanksgiving turkey gorge. After the big meal, I cook the bird down in a huge stew pot to get all the meat off the bone (skimming fat off as needed). Then I add some veggies and lentils to make turkey soup. Any leftovers from that can go into the pot pie. 3 different ways to eat leftover turkey, and nothing gets wasted!

This was a great recipe! I followed it exactly and it turned out perfectly. The only thing I would change is to add a little more salt and pepper to the filling.
