Creamy leftover Turkey Pot Pie – an easy, comforting pot pie using leftover Thanksgiving turkey.
We’re not big turkey eaters here. We love turkey the day it’s made but after that I need to get creative and find ways to use the leftover turkey in different recipes. This turkey pot pie is a perfect recipe to make with your leftover turkey. It’s my standard easy to make chicken pot pie recipe that I substitute turkey for and I love it because this pot pie can be made with any vegetables you have on hand.
I use Pillsbury refrigerated pie crusts to keep things simple. Either roll out the crust and place on top of the filled pie pan or cut individual circles out so they fit on little ramekins.
Brush the tops of the pie shells with an egg wash to give the shells a shiny, golden-brown color.
Bake in the oven for about 30 minutes.
Easy, quick and delicious!
