Instructions

Turkey Pot Pie Crust

Add the flour, poultry seasoning, salt, and cubed butter to a food processor. Pulse until the flour is the consistency of course sand. Slowly add the water 1 tablespoon at a time until the dough comes together.

Dump the pie dough onto a work surface and press it together by kneading it a few times. (don't overwork the dough)

Divide the pie dough into 2 pieces, shape them into fat round discs and wrap in plastic wrap. Refrigerate the dough for a few hours or up 3 days ahead.

PRO-TIP: I make extra pie dough when I make my Thanksgiving pies so that I already have it in the fridge when we are ready to make pot pie.

Turkey Pot Pie Filling

In a large dutch oven or saucepan melt the butter over medium-high heat. Add the carrots, celery, and onion. (Mirepoix). Sauté until soft about 5-10 minutes. note 1

Sprinkle the flour over the vegetables and toss to coat.

Add the thyme and poultry seasoning. Add 1 cup of the turkey stock to the vegetables and bring the liquid to a boil. Stir the sauce as it is heating. The sauce will start to thicken.

Add the remaining stock to the saucepan and bring to a boil.

Add the vegetables. Heat them until they are warm.

Season to taste with salt and pepper.

Stir in the turkey meat.

Adjust the consistency of the filling by adding additional broth if needed.

Allow the turkey pot pie filling to cool completely before adding it to the pie dough.
