Old-Fashioned Turkey Pot Pie Recipe
Description
This old-fashioned turkey pot pie is a classic comfort food recipe that has been around for generations. It’s a classic combination of turkey, vegetables, and a creamy sauce all wrapped up in a buttery, flaky crust. This dish is perfect for a family dinner or a potluck. It’s easy to make and is sure to be a hit with everyone.
This recipe calls for cooked turkey, but if you have leftover roasted turkey, you can use that instead. You can also use any vegetables you have on hand such as peas, carrots, potatoes, and celery. For the sauce, you can use a can of cream of chicken or cream of mushroom soup.
