I have a great homemade pie crust recipe on the blog (you can find the link here) but honestly, I purchase a good quality pre-made pie crust from the grocery store. They are delicious and it’s a great shortcut!

What vegetables go in a pot pie?

I keep it simple with the basics – onions, carrots and celery, but you can really use any combination of vegetables!

• broccoli
• potatoes
• frozen peas and carrots
• cauliflower
• green beans (leftover green bean casserole is terrific!)
• cabbage or brussels sprouts
• zucchini
• eggplant

Can you freeze turkey pot pie?

• Absolutely! Make the filling and assemble the pot pie. Wrap it well and tuck it in the freezer – it will last up to six months!

A couple tips before I go – if you don’t have leftover turkey, substitute with leftover cooked chicken. No sprig of thyme? Use 1/4 teaspoon Italian Seasoning.

I hope you really enjoy this recipe and you’re able to transform your leftovers into a fun new meal!
