Leftover Turkey Pot Pie

Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Leftover Turkey Pot Pie.

1. Step 1

   Start by preheating your oven to a cozy 425°F (220°C), setting the stage for a delicious pie.

2. Step 2

   In a large saucepan, melt some butter over medium heat, letting its rich aroma fill your kitchen.

3. Step 3

   Toss in the chopped onions, mushrooms, and minced garlic, stirring them gently until they become tender and fragrant, which should take about five minutes.

4. Step 4

   Next, sprinkle in the flour, dried sage, and dried thyme, mixing everything together until it’s well combined and you can almost taste the flavors coming together.

5. Step 5

   Now, it’s time to add some liquid gold! Gradually pour in the turkey gravy, water, and milk, stirring continuously to create a smooth mixture.

6. Step 6

   Bring this delightful concoction to a gentle boil over medium-high heat, cooking for just one to two minutes until it thickens slightly.

7. Step 7

   Once you see it bubbling, fold in the cubed turkey and thawed mixed vegetables, cooking for another five minutes until the veggies are tender and vibrant.

8. Step 8

   While that’s happening, grab a 10-inch pie plate and line it with your bottom crust, creating a cozy home for your filling.

9. Step 9

   Pour the turkey mixture into the crust, spreading it out evenly.

10. Step 10

    Then, cover it with the top crust, sealing and crimping the edges to keep all that goodness inside.

11. Step 11

    Don’t forget to pierce the top crust in several places with a fork; this allows steam to escape and prevents any unexpected eruptions! To protect those lovely edges from over-browning, cover them with strips of aluminum foil.

12. Step 12

    Now, it’s time to bake! Place your pie in the preheated oven and let it bake for 25 minutes.

13. Step 13

    After that, carefully remove the foil strips and continue baking until the crust turns a beautiful golden brown, which should take about another 20 minutes.

14. Step 14

    Once your pie is perfectly baked, take it out of the oven and let it rest for about 10 minutes.

15. Step 15

    This little pause allows the flavors to settle and makes serving a breeze.

16. Step 16

    Now, slice into your delicious turkey pie and enjoy the warm, comforting flavors that are sure to bring smiles all around!.
