Recipe Notes

You can easily use cooked chicken instead of turkey in this recipe.ย 
If the pie crust is getting too brown in the oven, loosely cover the pie with foil to keep it from getting browner.
Variations
  • Change the Meat – You can easily use cooked chicken instead of turkey in this recipe.ย Chicken, Roast, or just do a vegetable pot pie. All good options and the recipe would stay the same.
  • Vegetables – We used frozen mixed vegetables, but any type of vegetables can be tossed in the mixed. We also like to add in some cook potatoes and green beans. Potatoes give it a delicious texture.
  • Cream Soup – We used cream of chicken soup, but you can easy cream of mushroom or cream of celery. You can even make Homemade Cream of Chicken Soup. It is easy and is made with simple ingredients.
  • Chicken Broth – If you like a thinner sauce, you can add in chicken broth.
How to Freeze Turkey Pot Pie
Freezing Turkey Pot Pie is one of my favorite freezer meals to prepare. This would be a perfect meal to prepare for a friend or family that just had a baby or had surgery.
  • Prepare your Turkey Pot Pie as indicated on the recipe card.
  • Allow Pot Pie to cool completely.
  • Cover the pie completely with plastic wrap and then foil.
  • Write the date on the pot pie so you know when it was prepared.
  • Place in the freezer and it is good for up to 3 months.
  • When you are ready to serve, uncover the pot pie from the plastic wrap and foil and place in the oven.
  • Bake at preheated oven at 375 degrees for about 75 minutes. You will know it is done when the crust is bubbly.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do you Put Foil on a Pot Pie?

If the edges begin to burn on your pot pie, we recommend wrapping the edges with foil. Take a small strip of foil and wrap around the foil. This will allow the center of the pot pie to cook without burning the edges.

How to Store Leftover Pot Pie

Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days. We like to store in individual containers for a quick lunch the next day.

    The recipe came out good. I added some small parboiled potatoes to it. It did come a little watery even after letting it rest. Maybe I should have put some cornstarch in before I covered it. It tastes good though.

    1. Carrie Barnard says:

      Yes, I think the cornstarch would have helped. I thinking the potatoes probably released some water as they cooked and made the mixture a little too watery.
