Turkey Pot Pie Nice for Leftover Turkey!
This Turkey Pot Pie is the ultimate cozy dish. It’s like a warm blanket on a cold day, but in pie form! Ready to elevate your turkey game? Let’s gather our ingredients!
Ingredients:
- 2 cups cooked turkey, shredded
- 1 cup frozen peas and carrots
- 1 cup corn, drained
- 1/2 cup celery, diced
- 1/2 cup onion, diced
- 1/3 cup butter
- 1/3 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 3/4 cups chicken broth
- 1 cup milk
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 2 pie crusts (store-bought or homemade)
Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Yes, this is about to get hot in here! Or should we say hot in ‘there’ since we’re making pie?
- In a saucepan over medium heat, melt that butter, and let it sizzle! Add the onions and celery, stirring until softened — about 5 minutes. Smell that? That’s the aroma of happiness!
- Stir in the flour until well combined, continue cooking for about a minute. Now, it’s time to whisk in the chicken broth and milk. Keep stirring until the mixture starts to thicken. You’ve just made your glorious gravy!
- Mix in the turkey, peas, carrots, corn, and season with salt and pepper. Stir it all together and remove from heat. Let this luscious filling cool down just a tad — we don’t want any flavor explosions on our plates!
- Roll out one pie crust and place it in a pie dish. Pour in the turkey filling and then cover it with the second pie crust. Trim and crimp the edges, then cut a few slits in the top to let that steam escape. It’s like giving your pie a little bowtie!
- Bake for 30 to 35 minutes or until the crust is golden brown and flaky. Your kitchen should now smell like a gourmet restaurant. Just try not to eat it all before it hits the table!
And voilà! You have successfully transformed your leftover turkey into a stunning Turkey Pot Pie that even your grandma would be proud of. Dig in, and enjoy every bite!
