Turkey Pot Pie

Hello all! Yes, it's true. I'm still trying to find ways to use up leftover turkey from Thanksgiving and I'm sure you are too. One of the teachers I work with told us that she used some turkey to make a pot pie. I hadn't had turkey pot pie in forever so I decided to give it a try!

Here's what you need:
2 rolled out pie crusts
1 knob of butter
3+/- tbsp of all-purpose flour
1/2 cup of chicken broth
1/2 cup of water
Black Pepper
Salt

1/8 or 1/4 pound of leftover turkey breast
2 large carrots
2 stalks of celery
1/4 onion
1 large clove of garlic

Preheat oven at 400.

In a medium size saucepan, melt butter over medium heat. Gradually add flour and use a whisk to combine so it's thick. Then slowly pour in chicken broth, then add garlic and onion. Add black pepper and salt.Cook for about 5 minutes then add turkey, carrots, and celery. Add more flour if needed to make the sauce thicker (kind of like gravy but not too dense). Turn off heat and set aside.


Take one of your pie crusts and place in a pie tin. If you have pie crusts that are pre-crimped, peel off the crimped part of the crusts. Pour in pie filling then gently place second pie crust on top. Gently crimp the top pie crust to the bottom pie crust (take off excess crust if needed). Pierce the center of the crust with a knife three or four times. Place in oven for about 15 minutes or until the crust is lightly browned and flaky. Enjoy!
