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

Turkey Potpies Recipe

Prep: 40 min. Bake: 40 min. + standing

Yield: 12 Servings

40 40 80

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).

Excellent and great way to use up leftover poultry. Do wish they had given nutritional value though. This SHOULD be quite healthy. My only change was skim milk instead of whipping cream because it was all I had. Still turned out great with healthier substitution as an added benefit.

So nice to see a pot pie recipe that uses fresh ingredients instead of canned soup and veggies. This had lovely flavor and creaminess. My only change was to make the pastry myself, and I used fresh garlic instead of garlic salt. The pie I froze reheated nicely, too.

I substituted chicken for the turkey because the grocery store was out of turkey, but this recipe still came out great. I'm pleased how creamy it tastes without using condensed soup. And, I am glad to have a second pie to freeze! Love recipes that I can spend time in the kitchen once and get a bunch of meals.

A few little tweeks as well as a bottom crust (made my own). But totally delicious!

I had leftover turkey and this recipe helped me use up a good amount of it. I was drawn to it because I am always looking for potpie recipes that don't use a canned soup. Made exactly as directed, but omitted the celery. My young kids even loved it. Next time the only change I would make would be to add more veggies.

I make this regularly in the fall/winter and I really like the ability to freeze one. I use chicken because we always have chicken in the house. I also use top and bottom crust. This is a favorite in our house!

This has become a favorite in our house. I substitute chicken for the turkey. It is great to be able to pull one of these from the freezer.
