Ingredients

  • 2 cups cooked turkey or ham, diced
  • 1 cup leftover vegetables (carrots, peas, green beans, or Brussels sprouts), diced
  • 1 cup leftover stuffing (optional)
  • 1 ½ cups leftover gravy (or substitute with 1 ½ cups chicken or turkey broth mixed with 1 tablespoon of flour)
  • ½ cup milk or cream
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • 1 pre-made pie crust or biscuit dough (homemade or store-bought)

Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
  • In a large bowl, combine the diced turkey or ham, leftover vegetables, and stuffing (if using).
  • In a saucepan over medium heat, warm the gravy and stir in the milk or cream to create a rich, creamy sauce. If you’re using broth and flour instead of gravy, add them to the pan and whisk until it thickens.
  • Season the sauce with salt and pepper, then pour it over the turkey mixture and stir to combine.
  • Pour the filling into a 9-inch pie dish or baking dish.
  • Roll out the pie crust or biscuit dough and lay it over the filling, trimming any excess. Press down along the edges to seal.
  • Cut a few small slits in the top of the crust to allow steam to escape.
  • Place the pot pie on a baking sheet to catch any spills. Bake for 30-40 minutes or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbly.
  • Allow the pot pie to cool for 5-10 minutes before serving.
