Thanksgiving Leftovers Pot Pie
- 2 tbsp unsalted butter
- 2 tbsp all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup milk
- 1 1/2 cup leftover turkey gravy
- 2 cup leftover turkey - roughly chopped
- 2/3 cup frozen peas and carrots mix (or any leftover veggies you may have, cut to 1/4in. dice)
- 2 cup to 4 cup leftover mashed potatoes
- 1 cup leftover stuffing/dressing
- Preheat oven to 425F.
- Grease a 9in round deep dish pie plate or a deep sided 8x8in square casserole dish.
- Press cold, leftover stuffing/dressing into the bottom and slightly up the sides to form a bottom "crust".
- Bake in oven for 5 min.
- Remove and set aside (leave oven on).
- Heat a medium saucepan over medium heat.
- Add butter when hot.
- When melted whisk in flour.
- Cook about 2 minutes to make a nice golden roux.
- Add milk, whisking to combine and keep from clumping.
- Stir in leftover gravy and veggies.
- Bring to a simmer for about 2 minutes to heat through.
- Turn off heat, add leftover turkey and stir gently to combine.
- Reheat mashed potatoes in a microwave safe bowl for 1-2 minutes in microwave, or until just heated through so they will be easier to work with.
- Gently pour filling into stuffing crust.
- Starting at the edges, dollop mashed potatoes in several little mounds all over the top.
- I actually have a tablespoon sized ice cream scoop that works perfectly for this, and makes the cutest little mounds of potato.
- You could even use a star tip on a piping bag.
- Get fancy with it!
- Bake for 20-25 minutes or until potatoes begin to brown.
- Remove from oven.
- Let rest 5 - 10 minutes and enjoy a simple and easy day after Thanksgiving meal!
- Optional: remove from oven at 20 minutes, top with 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese and return to oven for 5 minutes or until cheese is melted and beginning to turn golden brown.
