Easy Leftover Thanksgiving Turkey Pot Pie Recipes

DAD'S LEFTOVER TURKEY POT PIE

Steps:

• Preheat an oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C).
• Place the peas and carrots, green beans, and celery into a saucepan; cover with water, bring to a boil, and simmer over medium-low heat until the celery is tender, about 8 minutes. Drain the vegetables in a colander set in the sink, and set aside.
• Melt the butter in a saucepan over medium heat, and cook the onion until translucent, about 5 minutes. Stir in 2/3 cup of flour, salt, black pepper, celery seed, onion powder, and Italian seasoning; slowly whisk in the chicken broth and milk until the mixture comes to a simmer and thickens. Remove from heat; stir the cooked vegetables and turkey meat into the filling until well combined.
• Fit 2 pie crusts into the bottom of 2 9-inch pie dishes. Spoon half the filling into each pie crust, then top each pie with another crust. Pinch and roll the top and bottom crusts together at the edge of each pie to seal, and cut several small slits into the top of the pies with a sharp knife to release steam.
• Bake in the preheated oven until the crusts are golden brown and the filling is bubbly, 30 to 35 minutes. If the crusts are browning too quickly, cover the pies with aluminum foil after about 15 minutes. Cool for 10 minutes before serving.

EASY LEFTOVER TURKEY POT PIE

Steps:

• Melt the butter in a small saucepan over medium heat. Once butter is melted, whisk in flour until smooth. Slowly pour in the chicken broth and whisk until the sauce has thickened. Add the milk, salt, and pepper and whisk until the sauce is bubbling and thick enough to coat the back of the spoon.
• To assemble the pie: Press one of the pie crusts into the bottom and sides of a 9 inch pie plate. Spread the cooked turkey or chicken on the base and top with the mixed vegetables. Pour the gravy over the top of the chicken and vegetables. Place the top crust over the pie. Trim and crimp the edges of the crust together. Using a paring knife cut slits across the top of the pie.
• Bake the pot pie at 375 degrees F for 40 minutes or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbling. Let pie cool for 10 minutes before serving.

LEFTOVER THANKSGIVING TURKEY POT PIE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Lightly oil four 10-ounce ramekins or coat with nonstick spray. To make the filling, melt butter in a large skillet over medium high heat. Add garlic, onion, corn, carrots and peas and cook, stirring occasionally, until onions become translucent, about 2 minutes. Whisk in flour until lightly browned, about 1 minute. Gradually whisk in chicken broth, milk and thyme, and cook, whisking constantly, until slightly thickened, about 1-2 minutes. Stir in turkey; season with salt and pepper, to taste. Divide the filling evenly into the ramekins. Top with puff pastry and gently cut 4 vents in the top of the crust. Brush each crust with the beaten egg. Place into oven and bake until the crust is golden brown, about 20 minutes. Let cool 5 minutes before serving.

PATCHWORK PUFF PASTRY TURKEY POT PIE

Steps:

• Unfold 1 puff pastry sheet onto a lightly floured surface. With a sharp knife, cut along the 2 line folds to create 3 strips. Cut each strip into 4 equal squares. Repeat the process with remaining puff pastry sheet. Place squares on a parchment paper-lined baking sheet and refrigerate while preparing the filling.
• Melt butter in a large skillet with high sides over medium heat. Add mushrooms, shallot, garlic, salt, and pepper. Saute until mushrooms are browned and tender, about 8 minutes. Add sherry and simmer 2 minutes to cook off alcohol.
• While mushrooms cook, in a bowl, whisk together chicken broth, milk, and flour. Pour broth mixture into the mushrooms, add herbs, and stir to blend. Bring to a simmer and cook, stirring frequently, until thickened, 2 to 3 minutes.
• Stir in turkey and green beans and taste for seasoning. Add salt and pepper if needed.
• Coat a 2 ½- to 3-quart baking dish with cooking spray. Spoon filling into dish and let cool while the oven preheats. (Cooling the filling will help the puff pastry rise more.)
• Preheat oven to 400°. Starting at the outside edge, arrange puff pastry squares over the cooled filling, overlapping the squares somewhat in a shingle pattern and making concentric circles. If you have any squares leftover, leave them on the baking sheet; they can be baked to serve with the pot pie.
• In a small bowl, whisk together egg yolk and 2 teaspoons water. Carefully brush egg wash on puff pastry squares, including any leftover squares.
• Bake pot pie until the pastry is puffed and deep golden and the filling is bubbling, 35-45 minutes. At the same time, bake any remaining puff pastry squares until browned and puffed, 15-20 minutes. If the top of the pot pie begins to brown too much before the pot pie is hot to the center (about 190° on an instant-read thermometer), shield it with aluminum foil during the last 10-15 minutes of baking.
• Scatter additional herbs over the pot pie if you like, and serve with extra puff pastry squares.
