Turkey Mushroom Pot Pie
Turkey mushroom pot pie is a delicious way to use up leftover turkey!
Ingredients
- 3 tablespoons butter
- 1/2 onion , chopped
- 2 cups chopped mushrooms
- 2 garlic cloves , minced
- 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 2 cups turkey or chicken broth
- 1 cup milk
- 1 heaping teaspoon fresh chopped thyme
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 2 cups chopped leftover turkey
- 1 single pie crust
- 1 egg + 1 tablespoon water , for egg wash (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400°F.
- In a medium skillet, melt butter over medium heat. Add onions and mushrooms and cook until soft, about 5 minutes. Add garlic and cook for 1 minute.
- Add flour and stir until vegetables are coated.
- Add broth slowly while whisking constantly. Mixture will be lumpy but should become smooth as you whisk. Once all broth is incorporated, whisk in the milk.
- Stir in thyme, salt, and pepper. Bring to a boil and cook for a few minutes until thickened.
- Remove from heat and stir in cooked turkey.
- Add mixture to a 9 inch pie plate and top with pie crust. Crimp edges and brush with egg wash, if using. (See note.)
- Bake until crust is golden and filling is bubbling, about 30-35 minutes.
Notes
NOTES:
- This recipe can also be made with chicken instead of turkey.
- If you use my foolproof flaky pie crust recipe, you'll end up with 2 crusts. Wrap one well with plastic wrap and store in the freezer for up to 3 months, for another use.
- You can make this whole dish in an ovenproof skillet (I like to use cast iron), prepping the filling on the stove top and then baking it in the oven.
