Notes
You can easily use cooked chicken instead of turkey in this recipe. 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. 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.
