Ingredients

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 400°F.
    Ingredients for chicken tikka masala in bowls on a table.
  • Melt the butter in a Dutch oven set over medium heat.
    2 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • Once heated, add in the onion and salt, and cook until softened.
    ½ onion, ½ teaspoon kosher salt
  • Add in the garlic and poultry seasoning and cook for another minute.
    2 cloves garlic, ½ teaspoon poultry seasoning
  • Stir in the flour. Then, slowly pour in the chicken broth while whisking.
    2 tablespoons all-purpose flour, 1½ cups low-sodium chicken broth
  • Turn the heat to medium high. Once the mixture is bubbling, reduce to a simmer. Continue whisking until the mixture is smooth.
  • Stir in the heavy cream.
    ½ cup heavy cream
  • Add in the turkey and vegetables, and let the mixture simmer for a few minutes until thickened.
    3 cups leftover cooked turkey, 2 cups frozen mixed vegetables
    Chicken and peas in a pan with a wooden spoon.
  • Season with salt to taste.
  • Layer one pie crust on the bottom of the pie dish. Trim the excess dough.
    2 9-inch refrigerated pie crusts
  • Pour the turkey filling into the crust.

  • With a knife, make a few slits in the top crust for venting.
  • Bake in the oven for 30-35 minutes. Check pot pie halfway through and cover with tin foil if the crust is becoming too browned.

Notes

  • Don't overfill the pie, or it might leak as it bakes. Leave some space between the filling and the top crust.
  • Let the pot pie cool for a few minutes after baking to allow the filling to set. This will make it easier to serve.
Storage: Store turkey pot pie in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days or in the freezer for up to 2 months.
