After Thanksgiving Pot Pie
After Thanksgiving, our refrigerator is filled with endless leftovers. To some this may be annoying, but to me it is heaven! Yes, I’m that person who loves to relive Thanksgiving over and over again. However, I understand that leftovers can only last for what seems like forever. My heart hurts when food is thrown away, so I wanted to share one of the ways that I get a second wind from the most famous Thanksgiving item, the turkey.
This turkey pot pie is simple to make, can be frozen, and is a great way to extend the fruit from all the hard work that went into making your Thanksgiving meal.
I have included my pie crust recipe at the end of this post. I’ll be honest, I’m skipping it this year. I will be using my pre-packaged pie crust by Pillsbury. I keep some in the fridge/freezer at all times because it’s just so convenient to open the package, lay in the pie dish, fill, and pop into the oven. Either option will produce a delicious result.
While this crust is flaky and delicious, it does add a significant amount of time to preparing this dish. If you’re pressed for time, just use pre-packaged pie dough. I won’t tell your secret.
