Description
This Turkey Pot Pie is the ultimate comfort food, made with tender turkey, colorful vegetables, and a creamy sauce, all wrapped in a golden, flaky crust. It’s perfect for using leftovers or preparing a hearty dinner the whole family will love.
Ingredients
2 cups cooked shredded turkey
1 cup frozen peas
1 cup diced carrots
1 cup corn kernels
1 cup green beans, chopped
4 tablespoons unsalted butter
1/3 cup all-purpose flour
2 cups chicken or turkey broth
3/4 cup milk or heavy cream
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
2 pie crusts (homemade or store-bought)
Instructions
1. In a large skillet, melt butter over medium heat. Add flour and whisk constantly for 1–2 minutes to create a golden roux.
2. Slowly whisk in the broth to avoid lumps, then stir in milk or cream. Simmer until thickened (about 5 minutes). Season with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and thyme.
3. Stir in cooked turkey and vegetables. Mix until well combined and remove from heat.
4. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a 9-inch pie dish with bottom crust. Add filling. Top with second crust, seal edges, and cut slits in the top.
5. Bake on a baking sheet for 30–35 minutes until crust is golden. Cover edges with foil if browning too quickly.
6. Cool 10–15 minutes before slicing. Serve warm and enjoy!
Notes
Blind bake the bottom crust for a crispier base.
Use rotisserie chicken if you’re out of turkey.
Add a sprinkle of cheese inside the filling for a creamy twist.
