Turkey or Chicken Pot Pie Recipe

This turkey or chicken pot pie recipe is perfect for using up roast leftovers.

I love roast chicken or turkey leftovers and am always looking for delicious ways to serve them.

This one is a traditional favorite.

It never fails to please and is especially quick and easy to prepare if you choose to use pre made pastry.

Make several individual pot pies in small foil pie pans and freeze them.

They make a very easy dinner on a busy night. Just thaw and heat!

Chicken Pot Pie Recipe

1 1/2 tablespoons butter
1 small onion, chopped
1/2 cup carrots, chopped
1/2 cup potatoes, chopped
1/2 cup celery, chopped
2 tablespoons flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
1/2 teaspoon dried rosemary
pinch of black pepper (optional)
1 bay leaf
2 cups turkey or chicken stock
1 cup frozen peas
2 cups cooked turkey or chicken, chopped
Pastry for 9" double pie crust
2 tablespoons milk

Several hours before serving:Melt butter in a saucepan (medium heat). Add onion, carrots, potatoes and celery and cook until softened, about 5 to 7 minutes.

Stir in flour and whisk, keeping the pot on medium heat, about 2 minutes. Add seasonings and stock, 1/2 cup at a time, stirring constantly, until it thickens, about 5 minutes.

Remove bay leaf. Stir in peas and chopped turkey or chicken. Cover and set aside to cool, then refrigerate until cold. The cold filling will be quite thick.

45 minutes before serving:Preheat oven to 425°.

Spoon filling into 9" pie crust shell. Place second pastry layer over top of pie and seal the edges. Make vents in the top of the pie with a knife or fork, for steam to escape. Brush top with milk.

Bake 12 to 14 minutes, then reduce heat to 325° and bake 15 to 20 minutes longer or until pasty is golden brown and filling is bubbling.

Serves 6

Variations:

• Make individual pot pies and bake for a shorter period of time.

• If you want a chicken pot pie that is a bit lighter, omit the bottom crust and just top the filling with an upper crust. Bake until the top crust is browned and the filling is bubbling.

• Up the vitamin content by adding other vegetables if you like. Try kernel corn or very small pieces of blanched broccoli.
