Turkey, Vegetable and Roast Potato Pie

Brittney_B's Note:

This delicious pie is always a huge hit with our family. This comforting casserole pie is filled with vegies and turkey in a creamy mustard sauce which is complemented by the cheesey crisp potato topping. Its perfect to make if you have any leftover turkey and roast potatoes from Christmas day or dinner the previous night. I got this recipe from a "Christmas leftovers" special in a magazine and have adapted it to my family's likings. You could also use leftover ham or chicken in place of the turkey.
