As I said in my previous post, I have other recipes for leftover roast turkey. Turkey or chicken pot pie has been one of those comfort foods that have been familiar to me since my early childhood. It was one of those meals that mom would make whenever we were having a rough day and it never failed to cheer us up and make us happy. It is also a perfect meal to eat in front of a fire on a cold winters day. I am using turkey for this recipe but you can also use leftover chicken breasts or roast chicken. Some of the best pot pie is made from the roast chickens that you can get at Sam's or the grocery store. Like I said this recipe is a family favorite and I hope it will become one of yours as well.
Ingredients
(now I have to make a confession, I am kind of guessing at the quantity of the ingredients because I normally just add till it looks right. Because of this you might have to do a little give and take as well.)
unbaked boxed pie crusts (you could also use phyllo dough or puff pastry if your prefer that)
2 cups of chopped turkey
1 bag of frozen mixed vegetables ( you can also use fresh vegetables if you choose)
1 10oz can of Cream of Mushroom Soup
1 15oz can of Chicken Broth (you can use the leftover broth from your roasted turkey or chicken if you have it)
1 onion, chopped finely
salt and pepper
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
Combine all of the ingredients together. The consistency should not be to runny as it will melt down as it cooks and you don't want it to become to juicy.
Place the combined ingredients into a greased baking dish and cover with the pie crusts. Make sure that you poke a couple of holes in the crust so that the steam can be released. If you would like you can brush the crust with some melted butter or a beaten egg white to help create a nice golden crusts.
Bake until the ingredients are hot in the middle and the crust has become golden brown.
Serve this alongside a green salad or with some cheesy garlic toast and you will have a meal that your family and friends will beg you to make again!
Buon Appetito!
When I was younger I loved chicken pot pie as well. My dad isn't a big fan so instead my mom would buy me the frozen ones to put in the oven. I would have never thought to make turkey pot pie. I'll have to recommend this recipe to my family when they are all making turkey sandwiches from leftovers during the holidays!
ReplyDeleteWe usually make it around the holidays exactly for that reason!
ReplyDeleteI also eat the frozen pot pies when I was younger. I can not eat them anymore because I am allergic to some of the ingredients. Maybe if I make one I can eat it.
