Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Turkey Pot Pie with Leftovers.
Step 1
Start by preheating your oven to a cozy 400°F (200°C).
Step 2
While the oven warms up, grab two pie dishes and line them with thawed pie crusts, setting the stage for a delicious creation.
Step 3
Next, take a microwave-safe bowl and toss in the frozen corn, peas, and diced carrots.
Step 4
Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and pop it in the microwave for about 2 to 6 minutes, or until the veggies are tender and vibrant.
Step 5
In a large mixing bowl, combine your cooked corn mixture with diced turkey, savory gravy, crisp green beans, flavorful bacon bits, and a sprinkle of fresh parsley, sage, thyme, and black pepper.
Step 6
Give everything a good mix until well combined, letting those flavors mingle.
Step 7
Now, it’s time to fill your pie dishes! Divide the turkey mixture evenly between the two crust-lined dishes.
Step 8
Carefully place the remaining pie crusts over the top, trimming any excess edges as needed.
Step 9
Crimp and pinch the edges to create a lovely seal, then cut four small slits in the top of each pie to let the steam escape—this will keep your pies from getting soggy.
Step 10
In a small bowl, whisk together a beaten egg and a splash of water to create a lovely egg wash.
Step 11
Brush this mixture over the tops of your pies for a beautiful golden finish.
Step 12
To keep the edges from browning too quickly, wrap a strip of aluminum foil around the outer crusts.
Step 13
Now, slide those pies into your preheated oven and bake for about 45 minutes, or until they’re golden brown and bubbling with deliciousness.
Step 14
Once they’re out of the oven, let them cool for 5 to 10 minutes—this will make them easier to slice and serve.
Step 15
Enjoy the delightful aroma and the comforting flavors of your homemade turkey pies!.
