As much as I love turkey dinner, I think I might love the leftovers even more!
Turkey Pot Pie is the perfect way to enjoy leftover roast turkey! A creamy filling loaded with turkey and veggies is tucked inside a flaky pie crust and baked until golden and bubbly!
There is nothing better than leftover turkey recipes from turkey broccoli rice casserole or Turkey Tetrazzini, and of course this pot pie recipe!
Ingredients in Turkey Pot Pie
Keep it easy on yourself and know that nearly anything that you have can be baked into this pot pie! I always include a combination of turkey, vegetables, savory spices, and a creamy sauce, all baked into a flaky pie crust.
Got peas? Got carrots, leftover roast vegetables, or potatoes? It all goes perfectly in a pot pie!
How to Make Turkey Pot Pie
For this recipe, the filling is similar to a chicken pot pie. I love to use leftover turkey, leftover veggies, and a pre-made pie crust. It takes almost all of the prep work out of this recipe!
Cook onions until tender. Add flour and milk to make a roux (per the recipe below).Toss sauce with turkey and veggies. Fill a pie crust.
Add top crust, pinch edges to seal the pot pie, use a fork to ‘crimp’ the edges all the way around, and add a few slits in the center to create vents for the steam to escape. This prevents the pot pie from bursting at the edges while it bakes.
Bake Now or Freeze for Later
Once your turkey pot pie is prepared you can either pop it in the freezer for later or in the oven to enjoy now! Bake until the top of the crust is golden brown, and let cool before cutting and serving.
How to Make Turkey Pot Pie Ahead
Can You Freeze It? Definitely! Turkey pot pie can be frozen either before or after baking. Prepare as directed and cool completely. Cover tightly in plastic wrap and then in foil.
To bake from frozen: Preheat oven to 375°F and unwrap pie. Bake for about 80-90 minutes or until golden and the filling is bubbly. If you notice the crust starting to brown too much, loosely cover it with foil or use a pie shield.
There are countless recipes to enjoy your leftover turkey! Classic Chicken Salad (made with turkey of course!) or Turkey Noodle Soup makes for a great lunch.
Pretty much any recipe that requires chopped cooked chicken can be made with leftover turkey from chicken casserole to Homemade Chicken Spaghetti!
