Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 cups cooked turkey, shredded or diced
  • 2 cups mixed leftover vegetables (peas, carrots, corn, green beans), cooked
  • 1.5 cups turkey gravy
  • 1/2 cup chopped onion
  • 1/2 cup chopped celery
  • 1/4 cup butter
  • 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1.5 cups chicken broth
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 package refrigerated pie crusts (2 crusts)
  • 1 egg, beaten (for egg wash)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and celery and cook until softened, about 5-7 minutes.
  3. Whisk in the flour and cook for 1 minute, stirring constantly.
  4. Gradually whisk in the chicken broth until smooth. Bring to a simmer and cook, stirring, until thickened, about 2-3 minutes.
  5. Stir in the turkey gravy, salt, and pepper.
  6. Add the cooked turkey and mixed vegetables to the gravy mixture. Stir to combine and heat through.
  7. Line a 9-inch pie plate with one pie crust. Pour the turkey filling into the crust.
  8. Place the second pie crust over the filling. Crimp the edges to seal and cut vents in the top crust.
  9. Brush the top crust with the beaten egg wash.
  10. Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbly.
  11. Let the pot pie cool for 10 minutes before serving.

Notes

  • You can substitute leftover mashed potatoes or stuffing for some of the vegetables.
  • If you don’t have enough gravy, you can supplement with a bit more chicken broth and a tablespoon of cornstarch mixed with water to thicken.
  • For a biscuit topping, prepare your favorite biscuit dough and place spoonfuls over the filling before baking. Adjust baking time as needed.
