Variations

• Change the Meat – You can easily use cooked chicken instead of turkey in this recipe. Chicken, Roast, or just do a vegetable pot pie. All good options and the recipe would stay the same.

How to Make Turkey Pot Pie

Step 1 – Melt the butter in a large skillet over medium heat.  Add the onion and sauté until the onions are cooked and translucent.  

Step 2 – Then stir in the cream of chicken soup and the milk until combined.  Heat until the mixture is heated through. 

Step 3 – Then stir in turkey and the frozen mixed vegetables, and the seasonings.  Heat for 3-5 minutes until the veggies are tender and the turkey is heated through. 

Step 4 – Then pour the turkey and vegetable mixture into the pie plate over the pie crust. Season with salt and pepper for added flavor.

Step 5 – Cover with the remaining top crust sheet.  Pinch the edges to seal and cut a few slits on the top of the pie.

Step 6 – Brush the top of the pie with the egg wash (beaten egg). Bake for 35-40 minutes or until the pie crust is golden browned.

After you prepared the turkey pot pie, place in in the oven. You will bake the pot pie for about 40 minutes or until the top is golden brown. Cooking time will vary based on your oven.

If the pie crust is getting too brown in the oven, loosely cover the pie with foil to keep it from getting browner.
