Leftover Turkey Pot Pie

Turkey Pot Pie is a great way to use leftover turkey or chicken! It’s an easy recipe full of veggies that everyone loves for dinner.


Turkey Pot Pie - an easy recipe that's a great way to use up leftover turkey or chicken! My family loved this pie.

Okay wait!!! It’s me, Dorothy. I haven’t been taken over by some freaky dinner-loving person. I know it’s weird to wake up and see a savory recipe here but trust me, this one is a keeper. It’s worth putting sugar on the back burner…for a hot minute anyway.


Trust me, I’m not going to start posting dinner recipes all the time – I promise. Believe me, I cook dinner most days and I am NOT passionate about real food. Give me sugar and I’m inspired and have tons to talk about, but chicken or turkey? Not so much.


HOWEVER: I do eat real food…plus this has a crust, so it fits. I’m Crazy for Crust…and not just dessert. (Hey, new tagline, lol.) Once in awhile I may share something that fits…like pot pie or pizza.


Recently we had a turkey breast for dinner and I had a bunch of shredded turkey meat leftover. All of a sudden last weekend I was craving pot pie and once I made it I knew I had to share it because it was so delicious.


I grew up on pot pie; we had those mini Marie Callendar’s pies in our freezer all the time and I’d eat them for lunch on a regular basis. When I was in high school and started showing more interest in helping cook dinner, my mom and I found a Chicken Pot Pie recipe in a magazine. It was an advertisement so I don’t know where it originally came from (I *think* Crisco) but we used to make it all the time. It was a such a great recipe for a nice cold winter night…plus it had crust so we all had to have seconds.


When I was craving pot pie last weekend I unearthed that old recipe and then tinkered with it to bring it up do date and fit my tastes now. The result? Pot Pie Perfection!
