Turkey Pot Pie

I have to agree, this was delicious. I say "have to" because normally turkey is not our thing but I now find myself making a turkey breast just to have leftovers for this pot pie. Like others, I have made some very small changes: I use 1/2 olive oil and 1/2 butter to saute the vegetables, I use 2% milk instead of whole milk and I add a 1/2 a small bag of frozen peas and 1/2 a small bag of frozen lima beans to the mix when the potatoes are just about done cooking. I think you could use pretty much any herbs and any vegetable you have and it'd be great. Poultry seasoning works well, of course, as does something like Mural of Flavor from Penzey's. Also, I make more than the recipe calls for and instead of making it into a pie, I toss the filling into a big rectangular Pyrex pan (it's completely filled) and then cut the crusts (I use the store-bought ones) to cover the top and bake. It's delicious, easy to do and makes lots of leftovers (which of course just get better and better).

This was just delicious!! I made this with Thanksgiving leftovers but just now getting around to rating. I didn't have any oregano OR parlsey (oops!) so I used rosemary and thyme which turned out to be even better than I expected. I will be making this again... and again!

First Pot Pie I have ever made and it was Awesome! Changes I made: added 2 garlic cloves with onions, used frozen broccoli, cauliflower & carrot mix, added some frozen peas, small can of mushrooms and used refrigerated pie crusts. The Perfect Pot Pie!

My husband loves this with the leftover fried turkey from Thanksgiving. We also add peas to it.

This was, hands down, one of the best pot pies I've ever eaten. My husband and two sons (one of which is a picky eater) agree. I didn't have any oregano so I just used a 1/2 tsp of minced garlic along with seasoned salt from Tastefully Simple and it might have made it better. :) Thank you for sharing this!

Absolutely Delicious! No store bought pie could ever compare to this one. My husband drools when I say that I am making this pie tonight; the best I have ever had.

This was good! Hubby really liked it. My pie crust browned a little too quickly after just the first 10 minutes, so I had to cover it with foil for the rest of the cooking time.

Yum! This was my first attempt at making a pot pie. I had huge smoked turkey drumsticks so I shredded one up for this recipe. I kind of winged it with the seasonings.. with no parsley on hand, I used Italian seasoning, lots of oregano, a bit of thyme as well. I didn't have potatoes either, so I omitted the chicken broth and added more veggies to compensate. A frozen vegetable mix worked out well. Everything came together really easily: I made the filling early in the day, put it in the fridge, then put it all together in the evening for an easy dinner. Thanks!

Delicious. I had to add more flour to get it to thicken, and I added garlic powder, onion powder, and thyme for extra seasoning, but other than that, made just like the recipe said. My husband raved about dinner tonight. Thanks for helping me with the frozen left over Thanksgiving Turkey.

I love this versatile recipe. My favorite is using my canned beef, that I made with rump roast, substituting beef broth. I NEED peas in my pie! Plus I add fresh parsley and thyme. I use olive oil rather than butter. If I'm really in a "healthy" mood, I use a whole wheat pie crust made with canola oil. This is a great food to bring to a friend who's under the weather - warms the bones, and very filling.

Definitely filling and perfect for a gloomy rainy day. I wanted to cut out some of the fat from the butter, so I used olive oil and skim milk instead. However, in doing that, I needed a bit more flour to thicken the turkey mixture. I put in a ton of garlic and more spices to kick it up.

This was just absolutely delicious. I followed the directions exactly and thought it was perfect! You could play with the spices if you'd like, but I'm sure you would be happy with them just as they are. I used the "Most Incredible No Fail Pie Crust #28943" WOW! My daughter said it was like eating gormet! This is the potpie recipe that I have been looking searching for--comfort food at it's best!

This was the first time I ever made a pot pie & it turned out great!!! My family loved it. I followed the recipe exactly but I added a small can of sliced mushrooms to the onions, celery, & carrot saute. I also used the refrigerated pie crusts. Thank you for making my first time easy & delicious.

Fantastic!! I omitted the potatoes as I usually serve mashed on the side. :) I also changed the method a bit. I cooked the onion, carrots, and some garlic in the butter until softened. I added 2 cups of chopped cooked dark meat turkey. I added the chicken broth and simmered for a few minutes. I put all of this into a bowl and set aside. In the same pan (I used a large cast-iron skillet) I melted the butter and added the flour, mixed well, then added the milk. Then I added the veggie/turkey mixture back in to thicken. I put it all back into the bowl and tossed in 1/2 cup frozen corn and 1/2 cup frozen peas. Everyone LOVED it. I made this using the zaar recipe Perfect Oil Pastry.

My family loves this recipe. I have made it for the past 2 Thanksgivings and it has definitely become a tradition. I added some frozen mixed vegetables this year and it was even better!!

This pie is quite easy to prepare. I even taught my partner how to make it! And the leftovers last for ages.

Wow! I didn't know pot pie could be this easy and it was delicious as well. The directions are spot on. I added a clove of garlic to the onion saute and some frozen peas and corn to the veggies before baking...because I can't eat pot pie without peas. Thanks for sharing this recipe!

Delicious! This has a wonderful flavor. I just made a few changes according to my family's tastes. First, I added 2 huge cloves of garlic when I sauteed the vegetables. Next, to make this gluten-free, I left the flour out of the sauce and used cornbread on top for the crust. Minor changes. The spices were just right. Thanks for sharing.

I love this recipe it's soo easy and delicious. I've used it to make turkey, chicken and beef (using beef stock) pot pies.
