This dish is often associated with chicken pot pie, but turkey is a wonderful twist—especially when you have leftover turkey from a big family meal or holiday feast. It’s a great way to repurpose that extra turkey into a new and delicious dish, turning it into something entirely different from the meal you’ve already enjoyed.

The Best Ingredients for a Turkey Pot Pie

A classic turkey pot pie is typically made with a few key ingredients:

  1. Cooked Turkey: Whether it’s leftover Thanksgiving turkey or rotisserie chicken, turkey is the star ingredient in this dish. It’s tender, flavorful, and provides the perfect protein base.
  2. Vegetables: The classic vegetable medley includes peas, carrots, and onions, but you can mix and match based on what you have on hand. Celery, corn, mushrooms, or even sweet potatoes make excellent additions.
  3. Creamy Sauce: The creamy filling is made with a roux (butter and flour) that is cooked together and then mixed with broth (chicken or turkey), milk, and seasonings. The result is a rich, velvety sauce that coats the turkey and vegetables.
  4. Crust: You can use store-bought or homemade pie crust for the base and top of your pot pie. The crispy, flaky crust is the perfect complement to the creamy filling. Some people even choose to use puff pastry for an extra indulgent twist!

Why Turkey Pot Pie is Perfect for Leftovers

Turkey pot pie is a fantastic dish for using up leftover turkey, especially after big holiday meals like Thanksgiving or Christmas. Instead of letting the leftovers sit in the fridge, you can quickly turn them into a satisfying, one-dish dinner. It’s easy to prepare in advance, and the flavors only improve as it sits in the fridge overnight, making it an excellent choice for meal prepping or serving for a casual dinner party.
