Ingredients
2 refrigerated pie crusts
1/4 cup butter
1/2 cup chopped onion
1/2 cup chopped celery
1/2 cup chopped carrots
1/2 cup flour
2 cups turkey or chicken broth
1/2 cup milk
1/4 teaspoon salt
2 cups black pepper
leftover cooked turkey, chopped
1/2 cup frozen peas
1/2 cup frozen corn
cooking spray
Directions
-
Preheat your oven to 375°F and grease a 9-inch pie dish with nonstick cooking spray.
-
Melt the butter in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium heat.
-
Add the chopped onion, celery, and carrots to the pot and cook for 5 to 7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables begin to soften.
-
Sprinkle the flour over the vegetables and stir to combine.
-
Add the turkey or chicken broth and milk to the pot and whisk until the mixture is smooth.
-
Bring the mixture to a simmer and cook for 2 to 3 minutes, stirring constantly, until the sauce thickens.
-
Stir in the salt and black pepper before adding the chopped leftover turkey, frozen peas, and frozen corn.
-
Stir to combine and then remove the pot from the heat.
-
Unroll one of the refrigerated pie crusts and press it into the bottom of the prepared pie dish.
-
Pour the turkey and vegetable mixture into the crust-lined pie dish.
-
Unroll the second refrigerated pie crust and place it on top of the filling. Fold the edges of the crust under and crimp with a fork or your fingers to seal the edges.
-
Cut a few slits in the top crust to allow steam to escape.
-
Bake the turkey pot pie for 35 to 40 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is hot and bubbly.
-
Let the pot pie cook for 5 to 10 minutes before slicing and serving.
