Deep Dish Leftover Turkey Pot Pie

Submitted by Rita1652

"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."

BIG HIT!! I did this with fresh & homemade turkey, gravy and potatoes after thanksgiving! To save time, put all the veggies in the food processor rather than chopping. Overall the homemade gravy did the trick! Will definitely make again next yr!.

I used carrots and peas instead of corn and it was eaten up in a hurry! Great dish to use leftover turkey from Thanksgiving!

Sounds great, I'm going to make it tomorrow, like the idea of the mashed potatoes on top, just like sheppard's pie.

I have made this twice now, sorry I didn't review earlier. It has such great flavor! Great way to use up leftovers.

Great way to use up all the leftovers I had frozen (turkey scraps, mashed potatoes, dressing). I made this with mashed potatoes on half and leftover dressing on the other half. Both ways were yummy.
