Turkey Pot Pie










Best dish for leftover Turkey and gravy from Thanksgiving. Such a down home cooked meal, it looks hard but really its simple. If you have leftovers from a turkey or chicken boil the carcass and make a stock, take all of the leftover meat from this as well. Discard all of the rest of the bones, fat and skin. You can freeze the stock and meat for use at a later date. With these leftovers you now have the base for a couple meals, chicken noodle soup, and pot pie. The recipe for my pie crust can be found on this site. Here is a link to chicken pot pie for more easy takes on this great recipe
