Delicious Leftover Turkey Pot Pie Recipe

Ingredients

• 2 cups frozen peas and carrots
• 2 cups frozen green beans
• 1 cup sliced celery
• 0.67 cup butter
• 0.67 cup diced onion
• 0.67 cup all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon ground black pepper
• 0.5 teaspoon celery seed
• 0.5 teaspoon onion powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Italian seasoning
• 1.75 cups chicken broth
• 1.33 cups milk
• 4 cups cubed leftover cooked turkey
• 2 (14.1 ounce) packages pastry for a 9-inch double-crust pie

Instructions

1. Preheat your oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C).
2. In a medium saucepan, combine peas, carrots, beans, and celery. Add enough water to fully submerge the vegetables; bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer until vegetables are tender, approximately 8 minutes. Drain the water completely and set the vegetables aside.
3. In a large saucepan, melt butter over medium heat. Add diced onion and cook until translucent, around 5 minutes. Stir in flour, salt, pepper, celery seed, onion powder, and Italian seasoning; whisk continuously until a paste develops, about 1 minute. Gradually whisk in broth and milk until thoroughly combined. Bring the mixture to a simmer, cooking and whisking constantly, until the sauce thickens, approximately 3 to 5 minutes.
4. Remove the saucepan from the heat. Gently fold in the reserved cooked vegetables and diced turkey, ensuring everything is well coated with the creamy sauce.
5. Place one pie pastry into the bottom of each of two 9-inch pie plates. Evenly divide the turkey and vegetable filling between the two pie dishes. Top each pie with the remaining pie pastries and seal the edges tightly. Cut a few small slits in the top of each pie crust to allow steam to escape during baking. Transfer the pies to baking sheets.
6. Bake in the preheated oven for 15 minutes. If the crusts begin to brown too quickly, cover them loosely with aluminum foil. Continue baking until the crusts are golden brown and the filling is bubbly, an additional 15 to 20 minutes.
7. Let the pot pies cool for 10 minutes before slicing and serving. Enjoy!
