Leftover Turkey Enchilada Pot Pie image

After Thanksgiving or Christmas, when the sides and desserts are long gone, but you're still left with a mountain of turkey meat, what do you do? Zazz it up into something completely different! This recipe is easy and quick, but full of flavor. If you can't eat 2 pies quickly enough, you can freeze 1/2 of the filling for another night. Even easier! Serve with a dollop of sour cream or fat-free Greek yogurt.

Time 1h

Yield 16

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 tablespoon olive oil
1 small onion, chopped
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 pound chopped cooked turkey
1 (15.25 ounce) can whole kernel corn, drained
1 (15 ounce) can black beans, rinsed and drained
1 (10 ounce) can diced tomatoes and green chiles (such as RO*TEL®)
1 (10 ounce) can red enchilada sauce
1 ½ cups shredded Cheddar cheese, divided
1 teaspoon chili powder
½ teaspoon ground cumin
1 pinch salt
4 (9 inch) refrigerated pie crusts, at room temperature

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Lightly grease two 9-inch pie pans.
  • Heat oil in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Saute onion and garlic in the hot oil until tender, about 5 minutes. Add turkey, corn, beans, diced tomatoes, enchilada sauce, 1 cup Cheddar cheese, chili powder, cumin, and salt; cook and stir until well blended and warm, 2 to 3 minutes.
  • Place a pie crust in the bottom of each prepared pie pan. Sprinkle 1/2 cup of remaining Cheddar cheese into each. Gently add filling and spread evenly. Top each with a remaining pie crust, and fold and pinch around the edges to seal. Cut a few slits into the top crusts to release steam when baking.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until golden brown, about 40 minutes. Cover the edges with aluminum foil if they begin to brown too much.

I'm not a fan of cilantro, so I omitted it from the recipe. The pot pie was still very flavorful without it.

This recipe is a great way to use up leftover mashed potatoes. I added a cup of mashed potatoes to the filling and it turned out delicious.

I'm not a huge fan of turkey, but I really enjoyed this dish. The enchilada sauce and cheese masked the turkey flavor.

This dish was a bit too rich for my taste. I think I would have preferred it with less cheese.

I didn't have any leftover turkey, so I used chicken instead. It turned out just as well.

The enchilada sauce gave this pot pie a nice kick of flavor. I would definitely recommend using a medium or hot sauce if you like things spicy.
