Few dishes are as comforting as the popular potpie. This satisfying version is loaded with veggies and chunks of chicken, and it costs just $1.57 a serving. —Lucille Terry, Frankfort, Kentucky

To cut down on the fat content you could eliminate the butter altogether and add the flour to the broth and use fat free chicken broth. I made it this way and it still tastes great and my family loved it. Pat

If indeed the fat content is correct, you would be consuming almost an entire day's worth of the saturated fat allowed in the average 2000 calorie diet.

But just think how much fun and tasty it will be eating it! Don't think of the calories or fat grams, etc. OR: just don't make it and deprive you family of some really tasty food!

If the nutrition information is correct, this is not very healthy....31 g. fat with 15 g. sat. fat!

The first time I tried this, I went exactly by yhe recipe except for the turnip. My husband and I never liked turnips. Next time I tried the canned peas & carrots, & the diced potatoes,and drained the vegetables in a large colander. My husband said the more times I make the better it gets. I remember the store bought chicken pot pies my mother used to get.Those were not pleasant memories or smells either. But this recipe changed my mind.

We have made this recipe twice. I don't like mushrooms so we omit that and add corn instead. I was pleasantly surprised by the turnip, never had eaten one before. The first time the thyme was too overwhelming, so I just sprinkled in a small bit the second time. We also use a crust on the bottom, bake it for about 15 minutes alone, then add the filling and top shell to finish it off. It's fantastic!

I made this recipe and it was FANTASTIC! I used a brown onion instead of the green; I never tried turnips before... I was pleasantly surprised. My fiance said this was the best potpie he has ever eaten.

I tried this recipe last night and we liked it a lot. I don't like turnips so I substituted more potatoes and we both don't like mushrooms so I just left that out. I also wanted a traditionl onion taste so I used chopped onion for the green onion. The next time I make it, I think I will use a little less thyme. It was a little strong for me. I think I will put a little garlic in it next time also. I used store bought pastry and also used canned potatoes and they worked out just fine.(Didn't have any fresh potatoes on hand)
