Everything but the Kitchen Sink- Turkey Pot Pie




Here is the clearer version in case the image is pixelated. 

Struggling to use all the leftover vegetables and turkey from the holidays? Well you’re in luck! Below is my recipe for everything but the kitchen sink - turkey pot pie. In this recipe you’ll need any and all vegetables you see fit to throw into a pot pie, with your choice of meat or no meat! Cover it with pie crust and pop it in the oven for 40-50 minutes at 375 degrees and VOILÀ! A delicious dinner using all the leftovers!


Ingredients

3 Cups chopped vegetables- onion, carrots, celery, mushroom etc.

1 cup chopped turkey meat (optional)

2 tbsp butter 

1 tbsp olive oil

1-2 cups milk or milk alternative

1/2 cup flour or flour alternative

1/2 cup turkey or vegetable broth

1 Pie crust


Instructions


Preheat oven to 375 and set out pie crust to thaw if frozen

Prep and cut vegetables and leftover turkey, if not already chopped; I use carrots, celery, onion and mushroom  for a more traditional version but use whatever you think would taste good! Can be made with or without meat. Total should be about 2-3 cups of vegetables

Sauté veggies over medium heat in stovetop skillet with olive oil until tender, then add in chopped turkey, about 1 cup and turkey broth

Season with salt, pepper and Italian seasoning, add in minced garlic and thyme

once veggies are tender you’ll begin adding in about 1/2-1  cup of flour and 1 cup of milk (whatever kind you have) and 2 tbsp butter. Slowly cover veggies with flour then begin to slowly add in milk then flour then milk again until all is evenly mixed and a thick consistency begins to happen when stirring. Allow to simmer for 10 minutes until consistency of mixture is reached. 

Place filling in greased baking pie dish

Top pie dish with crust cover, rip off excess sides to patch up any tears in crust, score crust and place in oven for 40-50 minutes or until golden brown crust. 

Save any excess filling for another pie (can be frozen for later use)

Once out of the oven allow pie to sit for 15 minutes to cool before cutting

ENJOY !
