Instructions

Instructions using leftovers - prepare filling

  1. in 8 cup sauce pan, add 6 cups of water, 1 tbsp salt, diced potatoes and sliced carrots.  Cook until just tender.  Drain.

  2. In same saucepan heat leftover gravy, until hot (does not need to come to boil) I usually need to add about a 1/4 cup of water to thin my leftover gravy when reheating.  Stir in diced turkey, cooked carrots, potatoes and frozen peas. 

  3. Pie Crust. I like to have a top and a bottom crust on my pot pies but you can just have a top crust.  If using two crusts, Prepare either, individual sized pie crocks with uncooked bottom pie crust, or a large 9 inch pie pan with a bottom crust.

  4. Pour in filling.  Add top crust.  Cut slits in crust to allow for release of steam while baking.  Brush top crust with whipped egg.

  5. Bake 350 degrees for 45 minutes or until crust is a golden brown.

Instructions not using leftovers - prepare filling

  1. In large sauce pan place turkey or chicken breasts.  Add onion. Add 4 cups chicken broth, 2 cups water or enough water to cover the poultry. Bring to boil and boil uncovered for 60 minutes.

  2. Remove meat. When cool enough to touch remove bones and dice meat 

  3. Bring broth you cooked meat in to a slow boil. Thicken broth into gravy. In shaker add flour and 1 cup water with the 1/2 cup flour and 1 cup water. While stirring, slowly pour in flour water mixture.  Cook until thickened, while stirring the whole time. Stir in poultry seasoning if desired.
