Turkey Pot Pie

Introduction

Few comfort foods deliver like Turkey Pot Pie—a golden, buttery crust enveloping a creamy filling brimming with tender turkey and colorful vegetables. If you’re craving a cozy, family-style meal that’s wonderfully satisfying and perfect for using up leftover turkey, this classic dish is an unforgettable winner.

With its irresistible aromas, hearty flavors, and flaky pastry topping, turkey pot pie is a crowd-pleaser for weeknights, potlucks, or holiday table leftovers. Plus, it’s a practical way to transform simple ingredients into a stellar, shareable main.

Why Turkey Pot Pie Stands Out

This recipe makes your turkey pot pie shine with the perfect balance of meat-to-veg ratio, a savory silky gravy, and rustic yet elegant presentation. By carefully selecting each ingredient and adding subtle flavor boosters, you’ll achieve a well-rounded, comforting pie that’s full of texture and taste.

Efficient Prep for the Filling

Begin by prepping your vegetables so they cook evenly and blend beautifully into the pie’s creamy sauce. Using an efficient chopper like the Mueller Pro-Series 10-in-1, 8 Blade Vegetable Chopper will save you time and guarantee perfect, uniform pieces for carrots, celery, onions, and potatoes.

In a sturdy skillet, sauté the vegetables with butter, seasoning until softened. Add cooked turkey, sprinkle in herbs, then gently stir in a rich, homemade sauce until everything is luscious and well-coated.

Making and Baking Your Turkey Pot Pie

Rolling out high-quality, buttery pie crust (store-bought or homemade) and layering it over the filling delivers irresistible flakiness. Place the assembled pie on a sturdy lined sheet—using Reynolds Kitchens Brown Parchment Paper Roll helps prevent messy spills and allows for easy cleanup.

Brush the pie with a light egg wash for shine, then bake until the crust is golden brown and the bubbling filling promises creamy perfection inside.

Serving Tips for the Perfect Turkey Pot Pie

Let your pie rest after baking to make slicing easier. Serve with a simple salad, steamed greens, or a glass of cider. Use a reliable SENSARTE Nonstick Frying Pan Skillet, 9.5 Inch to sauté veggies or start the roux if making gravy from scratch.

To keep leftovers tasting fresh, store individual slices in durable containers like Rubbermaid Brilliance Food Storage Containers—they’re leakproof and keep your pot pie delicious for lunch the next day.

Turkey Pot Pie Recap

A golden, savory masterpiece, turkey pot pie captures all the nostalgia of home-cooked comfort food—creamy, flavorful, and satisfyingly complete in every bite. Its all-in-one appeal turns basic ingredients into an impressive meal everyone will love.

Instructions

1. Preheat your oven to 400°F. Line a baking sheet with a piece of Reynolds Kitchens Brown Parchment Paper Roll to catch any drips from the pie as it bakes.
2. Prep carrots, celery, onion, and potatoes using the Mueller Pro-Series 10-in-1, 8 Blade Vegetable Chopper for quick, uniform cuts.
3. Heat the SENSARTE Nonstick Frying Pan Skillet, 9.5 Inch over medium heat. Add the butter, then sauté onion, carrots, celery, and potato for 6–8 minutes, until just tender. Add garlic and cook 1 minute more.
4. Sprinkle flour over the vegetables and stir constantly for 2–3 minutes. Gradually pour in the broth and milk, stirring to avoid lumps. Simmer until the sauce thickens—about 5 minutes. Add thyme, sage, salt, pepper, cooked turkey, and frozen peas. Mix well and remove from heat.
5. Fill a 9-inch pie dish with the turkey mixture. Top with pie crust; trim, crimp, and cut a few vents for steam.
6. Brush crust with a beaten egg for shine. Bake pot pie on the prepared baking sheet for 30–35 minutes, until the crust is golden and filling is bubbling. Allow to cool for at least 10 minutes before serving.
7. For leftovers, store individual pieces in Rubbermaid Brilliance Food Storage Containers to keep the filling fresh and crust flaky.
