Deep Dish Leftover Turkey Pot Pie

You thought you were stuffed on Thanksgiving? Take a look at this overstuffed turkey pot pie! It 's made in a prepared pie crust filled with Thanksgiving leftovers of turkey, mashed potatoes, and gravy for ease during the holiday season. I do add more fresh herbs to this even though all was well seasoned when first served, bringing a freshness to the pie.
