With its golden brown crust and scrumptious filling, these comforting potpies will warm you down to your toes. Because it makes two, you can eat one now and freeze the other for later. They bake and cut beautifully. —Laurie Jensen, Cadillac, Michigan

Ingredients

  • 2 medium potatoes, peeled and cut into 1-inch pieces
  • 3 medium carrots, cut into 1-inch slices
  • 1 medium onion, chopped
  • 1 celery rib, diced
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 6 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 3 cups chicken broth
  • 4 cups cubed cooked turkey
  • 2/3 cup frozen peas
  • 1/2 cup plus 1 tablespoon heavy whipping cream, divided
  • 1 tablespoon minced fresh parsley
  • 1 teaspoon garlic salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon pepper
  • 1 package (15 ounces) refrigerated pie pastry
  • 1 egg

Directions

  • In a Dutch oven, saute the potatoes, carrots, onion and celery in butter and oil until tender. Stir in flour until blended; gradually add broth. Bring to a boil; cook and stir for 2 minutes or until thickened. Stir in the turkey, peas, 1/2 cup cream, parsley, garlic salt and pepper.
  • Spoon into two ungreased 9-in. pie plates. Roll out pastry to fit top of each pie; place over filling. Trim, seal and flute edges. Cut out a decorative center or cut slits in pastry. In a small bowl, whisk egg and remaining cream; brush over pastry.
  • Cover and freeze one potpie for up to 3 months. Bake the remaining potpie at 375° for 40-45 minutes or until golden brown. Let stand for 10 minutes before cutting.
  • To use frozen potpie: Remove from the freezer 30 minutes before baking. Cover edges of crust loosely with foil; place on a baking sheet. Bake at 425° for 30 minutes. Reduce heat to 350°; remove foil. Bake 55-60 minutes longer or until golden brown. Yield: 2 pies (6 servings each).

Great pot pie. The creamy sauce is what pulls it all together. I made mine with ham and believe you could use any kind of meat with this recipe. Will definitely make again.

Best potpie recipe ever, I've made it several times. I use sweet potatoes too.

This is an excellent Pot Pie with a flavorful sauce. My family loved it....I mean really loved it! Leftover turkey is good, but this last time I made it I pulled the meat off one of those grocery store rotisserie chickens and used that instead. It was spectacular! Otherwise I follow the recipe almost exactly. My only change is that I season the veggies with Season All while I sautee them.

I've made this recipe two times, first time with chicken (my fav) and the second one with beef. The only addition I made was to add mushrooms...just a personal preference. First time I made both pies, but didn't think the frozen one was near as good as the fresh one. Second time I made a bigger pan of it, cuz warmed up is as good as the first time. What a GREAT recipe!!

I made this recipe as is, and it was wonderful! The taste was wonderful, and the kids just loved it. The best is that this recipe makes two, so I have one in the fridge for a quick meal in the future.

I am sure you can spin this recipe and do chicken, or even beef.

The cream in the sauce knocked this out of the park. Really delicious, and the frozen one was as good as the first one.

EXCELLENT! I'll have to make another turkey so I can make this again.

This is an excellent recipe and is my favorite way to use leftover turkey. The pies really do freeze well.

We just had this for dinner. Got to say it was the BEST potpie we've ever had! The only change I made in the recipe was to use fresh garlic and I added a few mushrooms. Very, very good!!

It's a good thing it makes two pies, my family ate both of them. I also tried it with beef and it worked great.

Excellent pie! I used turkey broth instead of chicken and Cook's Illustrated's Foolproof Pie Dough recipe for the pastry

This is an excellent recipe. My husband is a fussy eater, but this is for sure a keeper. Thanks much

I've been looking for a decent potpie recipe *forever* and this is it! An absolute keeper! I used diced roasted chicken and used fresh grated garlic since I don't use garlic salt and added a healthy pinch of cayenne. I made the recipe using single serving pie pans so I can freeze and heat up later. Absolutely fantastic recipe!

My husband and I loved this recipe! We are newlyweds and I am new at cooking. But when he said the words "it tastes just like my mom's pot pie", I knew it was a keeper!

Made this with the rest of the leftover turkey-it was wonderful! Nice having an extra to heat up later also. To the person who gave this one star without trying it because of calories-if you think it has too many calories, don't make it! Not a reason to rate a wonderful recipe low.

Excellent. I cut it in half until I knew we would really like it. Now wish I have made both. Will be an old standby now. Going to try it with leftover beef and chicken as well.

I didn't have the celery , frozen peas or whipping cream. But used canned peas instead, which worked, Also used Chicken instead of turkey. was good. but wouldn't put the egg mixture on the pie crust again. oh and also put pie crust on the bottom, was very good. and used HOME MADE pie dough.

My family loved this recipe! Their only complaint was that I didn't cook them both because they wanted more! I used left over chicken instead of turkey, but I will be using this recipe after my next turkey feast!

Susan I am the creator of this recipe. I wrap the extra pot pie with heavy duty foil. I make sure the piece is large enough to also wrap around the bottom of the pie plate. So glad you all are enjoying the recipe, we love it too.

Got a question? This sounds delightful but how would you wrap this to freeze and how long can you free it?

Wow! This recipe was a hit in my house and I have 3 picky girls, all who loved it! I love it because it makes two so although it takes a little time to prepare you get two meals. I took the advice on another member and purchased deli turkey breawst cut 1/2 inch thick and it work perfect! I will definately make this one again and share with my friends!

My family loved this! I simplified the recipe and bought turkey breast lunchmeat from the deli and had them slice it really thick so I could cut it into cubes. I also used puff pastry instead of pie crust because I just saw someone on TV make a pot pie like that and it looked good. It was fabulous!!!

Very nice to have a recipe that makes 2 meals. We really liked the pies, but I do have to admit I made a few changes such as cut the carrots in smaller pieces(family preference) omitted the garlic salt and used a rotisserie chicken from the deli. This recipe is a keeper. Thanks!

This was a HUGE hit with our family. I didn't get a chance to freeze the second pie as they want to eat that one for dinner tomorrow night. This recipe is definitely a keeper.

I've been looking for a Chicken Pot Pie recipe for a long time that is not too spicy, but has a nice creamy flavor. This is it! My family is not much of a pea eater, so I substituted frozen peas & carrots. I also love the fact that you can make two pies at once. The frozen one is great to have on hand for busy evenings.
