Ingredients

Scale

Protein and Main Ingredients

  • 2 to 3 cups cooked shredded or diced turkey
  • 3 to 4 cups creamy mashed potatoes (fresh or leftover)

Vegetables

  • 1 cup mixed vegetables (frozen peas, carrots, corn, or green beans)

Sauce and Seasonings

  • 1 to 1½ cups chicken or turkey gravy (gluten-free if needed)
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 1 teaspoon fresh or dried herbs (thyme, sage, rosemary – optional)
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Optional

  • ½ cup shredded cheddar or parmesan cheese for topping

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Filling: In a large bowl, combine the shredded cooked turkey, mixed vegetables, and chicken or turkey gravy. Mix well until all ingredients are evenly coated and blended to create a flavorful, moist base filling.
  2. Season and Cook the Filling: Transfer the mixture to a skillet and heat gently over medium heat. Add butter, salt, pepper, and herbs. Cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring regularly to meld the flavors together and warm the filling thoroughly.
  3. Prepare the Mashed Potato Topping: If using leftover mashed potatoes, fluff them with a little butter or cream to restore creaminess. For fresh potatoes, boil peeled potatoes until tender, then mash until smooth and velvety with salt and butter.
  4. Assemble the Pot Pie: Pour the warm turkey filling into a baking dish. Evenly spread the mashed potatoes on top, then use a fork to gently create decorative peaks in the potato layer that will crisp and brown when baked.
  5. Bake Until Golden: Bake in a preheated oven at 375°F (190°C) for 25-30 minutes, or until the mashed potato topping is golden brown and the filling is bubbling around the edges. Optional: sprinkle cheese on top before baking for a golden crust.

Notes

  • Use leftover turkey to reduce waste and enhance flavor.
  • Do not overfill the baking dish to prevent spills during baking.
  • Increase vegetable quantity to add balance and nutrition.
  • Assemble the pot pie a day ahead and refrigerate, baking fresh when ready to serve.
  • Add a crunchy topping like breadcrumbs or cheese for texture.
