Ingredients

• 2 cups Cooked turkey (or protein of choice)
• 1.5 cups Leftover vegetables (e.g., green beans, carrots, peas)
• 1 cup Leftover mashed potatoes or sweet potatoes
• 1.5 cups Gravy or stock
• 2 tablespoons All-purpose flour
• 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
• 0.5 cup Milk or cream
• 0.5 teaspoons Salt
• 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
• 1 teaspoon Fresh thyme leaves
• 2 sheets Refrigerated pie crust (top and bottom)
• 1 Egg (for egg wash)
• 1 tablespoon Water (for egg wash)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 2

In a large skillet over medium heat, melt the butter. Whisk in the flour and cook for 1-2 minutes until lightly golden to create a roux.

Step 3

Slowly whisk in the gravy or stock, ensuring no lumps form. Add milk or cream and cook until the mixture thickens, about 3-4 minutes.

Step 4

Stir in the turkey, leftover vegetables, mashed potatoes or sweet potatoes, salt, pepper, and thyme. Cook for 2-3 minutes, then remove from heat.

Step 5

Roll out one sheet of pie crust and fit it into a 9-inch pie dish. Trim any excess dough hanging over the edges.

Step 6

Spoon the turkey and vegetable mixture into the prepared pie crust, spreading it evenly.

Step 7

Roll out the second sheet of pie crust and place it over the filling. Pinch and crimp the edges to seal. Cut a few small slits in the top crust to allow steam to escape.

Step 8

In a small bowl, beat the egg with 1 tablespoon of water to create an egg wash. Brush the egg wash over the top of the pie crust.

Step 9

Place the pie dish on a baking sheet to catch any spills, then bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until the crust is golden and the filling is bubbling.

Step 10

Let the pot pie cool for 10-15 minutes before slicing and serving.
