Family Circle's Lean Chicken/Turkey Pot Pie image

From Family Circle magazine. This chicken pot pie recipe is low in fat, calories, and sodium, but still has so much flavor. It's a much healthier version of traditional chicken/turkey pot pie. The only thing I did differently was that I used turkey, a little more salt and pepper, peas in place of green beans, and I used 2 cans of low-fat crescent rolls because I couldn't find phyllo dough. I put one can of the crescent rolls on the bottom of the greased pan and baked at 350°F for a little over 20 minutes until golden brown, put the pot pie mixture in it, and then used the other can to top the mixture and baked at 350°F for 20 minutes. You can either follow the recipe if you wish or you can try the variation that I used. Hope you like this as much as we did!

This pot pie was easy to make and turned out great! The filling was creamy and flavorful, and the crust was flaky and golden brown. I'll definitely be making this again.

This pot pie was just okay. The filling was a little bland and the crust was too dry. I think I'll try a different recipe next time.
