Creamy Turkey Pot Pie

If you have leftover turkey from Thanksgiving then this is the perfect recipe to use it up! Turkey pot pie is comforting with a creamy hearty filling of meat and vegetables and a buttery flaky pie crust.

Info and tips

The hardest part of this recipe is prepping! Since we’re using turkey (or chicken) thats already been cooked, and pre made pie crust, it deletes a lot of extra steps. If you want you can make your own pie crust, it would make it even better!

I like to make a little egg wash to brush over the pie shell before baking. It helps it get that beautiful golden brown!

Ingredients

• 1 small onion
• 6 garlic cloves
• 2 celery sticks
• 2 medium carrots
• 1/2 a potato
• 1/2 tbsp thyme
• 3 tbsp butter
• 1/4 cup flour
• 3 cups chicken/turkey stock
• 1 cup heavy cream
• 1/4 cup milk
• leftover turkey/chicken (roughly 1.5 cups)
• 1/2 cup peas
• salt & pepper (to taste)
• tsp garlic powder
• tsp onion powder
• tsp paprika
• red pepper flakes (to taste)
• handful fresh parsley
• pie shell (top and bottom)
• egg wash (1 egg + tsp water)

Instructions

1. Start by prepping all your veggies. Dice the onion, celery, carrot, and potato into small cubes. Mince the garlic and thyme.
2. To a oiled pot on medium heat add the onion, celery, and carrots. Saute these for a few minutes until they start to become soft and fragrant.
3. Next add the garlic and thyme. Mix together and saute for one minute until fragrant. Add more oil if needed.
4. Next add the butter. Once melted sprinkle the flour and mix well to make a roux. Let this cook for a couple minutes.
5. Add in the stock of your choice slowly and mix well to ensure there are no flour clumps. Once mixed add the heavy cream and milk.
6. Let this mixture simmer for roughly 15 minutes until nice and thick. Meanwhile preheat the oven to 400.
7. Next add in your cooked turkey/chicken and peas. Once mixed together add the seasonings and fresh parsley. Taste test here and add any additional spices you desire here.
8. Place the bottom pie shell into a grease dish (i used a cast iron) and pour the filling on top. Close with the top pie shell and press the edges together. Make a few slits in the top. Brush with the egg wash.
9. Bake in the oven at 400 for about 30 minutes or until golden brown. Remove and enjoy!
