Traditional Pot Pie with Smoked Turkey Recipe

This recipe makes a hale and hearty lunch or dinner from your smoked turkey leftovers. You can make your own crust, but I like to use this frozen pie crust recipe. LINK

Ingredients:
2x 9" pie crusts (for a double-crust pie)
2 C. turkey or chicken broth
2 tbsp. butter
2 tbsp. flour
1/2 C. chopped onion
1/2 C. chopped celery
1/2 C. sliced carrots
1/4 lb. smoked turkey, diced
1 C. potatoes cubed
1/2 C. frozen peas, thawed
Salt and pepper to taste
1-2 tbsp. fresh minced parsley

Instructions: 1. Put one of the pie crusts in the bottom of the pie plate and trim the edges.

2. In a large saucepan, cook the onion, celery, and carrots in the butter until onion is translucent, about 3-4 minutes. Stir in the flour and cook one minute more.

3. Stir in the chicken broth and remaining vegetables. Simmer, covered, until veggies are nearly fork tender. Once the vegetables are nearly fork tender, add salt and pepper to taste. Add parsley.

4. Cool slightly, then transfer into the pie plate and cover it with the 2nd crust. Use a fork to make steam holes then cook according to your pie crust's recipe until the crust is golden brown.
