Gobble Gobble! Leftover Turkey Thanksgiving Pie

Alright, alright... this is not the leftover turkey dinner that I am speaking of! I hope that none of us, even in our darkest days has to face the wrath of a Hungry Man Roasted Carved Turkey microwavable dinner!!!

But... in about 24 hours it'll all be over. Stuffing, Sweet potatoes, Mashed potatoes, Green beans, Cranberries, and TURKEY!!! AHHH!!! TURKEY! TURKEY! TURKEY! Most of the time we have so much of that left over turkey that we don't know what to do with it and we reheat it and it just becomes dry, chewy and well... almost unrecognizable as what was once our beloved turkey!

I was on the hunt for an easy recipe, because let's face it, who wants to get back in the kitchen after all that cooking the day before! What I came up with is this super easy Turkey Pot Pie. It's not a traditional Turkey Pot Pie, but more like a left over Thanksgiving Dinner in a pie recipe. It's delicious, it's easy and requires almost nothing more than reheating most of your left overs from the day before! I hope you try it!!! Your turkey will be thanking you for if not at the very least allowing him to maintain his integrity!!!

Happy Thanksgiving friends.








Turkey Mashed Pie

Leftover Turkey Meat
1 Cup Diced Celery
1 Cup Diced Onion or Leeks
1-2 Bay Leaves
1 Box Chicken Broth
1 Cup Frozen Peas & Carrots

Left over stuffing

2 Cups Leftover Mashed Potatoes

Directions

In a medium sized pot combine all ingredients except mashed potatoes and bring to a boil. Allow turkey to absorb most of the chicken broth until it reduces down by 1/2. This will take approx. 5 to 10 minutes.

Pour mixture into a deep pie dish. Then put a layer of the left over stuffing and make an even layer on top of it. And finally, take the left over mashed potatoes and spoon over the top of the mixture and pat down making an even layer.
(**tip**you can use the back of your spoon to smooth it out)

Place pie onto baking sheet and put in the oven on 400 degrees for 15 min or until top is brown and the filling is bubbling out.

Scoop out and serve hot- you can even put some leftover cranberry sauce on top!
