This Turkey Pot Pie is the ultimate comfort food, filled with tender turkey, vegetables, and a creamy, savory sauce encased in a golden, flaky crust. It’s a cozy, hearty way to use holiday leftovers and makes a perfect family dinner or freezer-friendly meal.

Ingredients

  • 2 cups cooked turkey, shredded or cubed
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 1 small onion, chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 carrots, diced
  • 2 celery stalks, diced
  • 1 cup frozen peas
  • ¼ cup all-purpose flour
  • 1½ cups chicken or turkey broth
  • ½ cup milk or cream
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper
  • ½ teaspoon dried thyme
  • 2 pie crusts (store-bought or homemade)
  • 1 egg + 1 tablespoon water (for egg wash)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. In a large skillet, melt butter and sauté onion, garlic, carrots, and celery until softened.
  3. Stir in flour and cook for 1 minute.
  4. Gradually whisk in broth and milk. Stir until sauce thickens.
  5. Add turkey, peas, thyme, salt, and pepper. Stir to combine.
  6. Line a pie dish with one crust, pour in the filling, and top with the second crust.
  7. Crimp edges, cut slits in top for steam, and brush with egg wash.
  8. Bake for 30–35 minutes until crust is golden and filling bubbles.
  9. Let rest 10 minutes before slicing and serving.

Notes

  • Use chicken instead of turkey for variation.
  • Top with puff pastry for a rustic look.
  • Add mushrooms or corn for extra flavor.
  • Use plant-based butter and almond milk for a dairy-free version.
  • Freezes well baked or unbaked for up to 3 months.
