Turkey Pot Pie!

Rita~'s Note:

Comfort food with mushrooms, onions, carrots, celery, potatoes, and lots of LOVE! I did make this in a deep pie dish. If you don't have one use a regular one but place a cookie sheet under to catch any drippings while baking.

We did like this, but think next time might cut back on the thyme and sage. I used homemade broth, so it already had a lot of seasoning in it, that may have been it. But I sure don't like to change recipes around the first time I try them, unless it is to leave out an ingredient that the family really does not like at all, and I don't feel like it will effect the recipe. Thank you for a great way to use up those leftovers after Thanksgiving. Loved the fact that I got some use from the broth I made and the leftover turkey.

Delicious! I love pot pies for dinner, but rarely make them. Having all that turkey leftover from Thanksgiving is just the motivation I needed, and this recipe was my answer. I didn't have mushrooms, so just omitted them. I used chicken broth instead of turkey broth, and dried herbs instead of fresh. We loved it. I used Easy Oil Pie Crust for my crust. Thanks, Rita!
