Turkey Pie

"A great way to use up the leftover turkey from Thanksgiving. This was my Grandmother's recipe for using up the leftover turkey. I liked it better than the plain turkey when I was a kid. This style of Meat pie was popular in the 1800's before the days of the modern kitchen Make great leftovers"

  1. This is the way my mom always makes her turkey pies. We looked forward to them every Thanksgiving and Christmas almost more than the initial turkey dinner! I do the same thing, with an additional twist, I crumble some leftover stuffing in the base of the pie before I pour in the turkey and gravy. If there is no stuffing leftover, then I just sprinkle in some stuffing crumbs. Yummm...

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY

I learned to cook out of desperation. My Grandmother was a great "Down Home" cook and she spoiled me. My Mom was into TV Dinners, yes those things that used to come on a foil tray. Yuk. My first experience with cooking actually was in Boy Scouts over a campfire. After a few times at cooking, I allways got "drafted" because all the other kids likes my cooking better. I've dome all the cooking for my family for over 30 years. and my kids are so spoiled, when they come home for college, they turn down going out and want me to cook. (Can you say "Spoiled") I only really follow a recipe when I'm baking. The rest of the time I either modify it, or I just wing it with out a recipe. ( It pays to write stuff down when you do this though because sometimes you stumble on something awesome, and then you can't recreate it) <img src="http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b399/susied214/permanent%20collection/adoptedspring08.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket">
