Leftover Turkey Pot Pie

I’m visiting my parents over the holidays right now.  Nothing was planned for dinner tonight, and since we had a lot of leftovers, I got to thinking of what I could do.  My mom happened to have everything at home to make this dish, so it was a no brainer.  This is really easy, and tasty!!

For the pie crust, I used store bought.  It’s quick and easy.  Don’t fuss over making your own for this dish.

  • Prepare pie crust according to package instructions.
  • Place pie crust over top of meat mixture.

  • You won't need to use all of the egg wash.
  • Bake for 30 minutes, or until the crust has browned.
  • Enjoy!
