Thanksgiving Leftovers Pot Pie

I wanted a fun and easy way to use up some Thanksgiving leftovers. Voila!
Cooking Instructions
- 1
Preheat oven to 425°F. 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.

Left Over Turkey-pumpkin Pot Pie Left Over Turkey-pumpkin Pot Pie
I LOVE to mix things up in my kitchen. This recipe came about one night when I was thinking how I can remake my thanksgiving leftovers. Staring in my fridge I saw my left over turkey, small ball of leftover pie crust dough, and pumpkin pie. I also have this awesome left over toasted spice rub mix I had used on some butternut sqush, why not pair it with pumpkin? So I thought, pot pie!, and who doesn't love a good pot pie. Using the turkey and some other fresh ingredients I had, bam! , I had just whipped up this amazingly flavorful pie with a beautiful complimentry nutty flavor of pumpkin and spice. Was a complete hit in my house, and I hope it will be at yours too.Left overs are great for a pot pie. This idea can be used and transformed with just about anything you may have left over! If I didn't have leftover pie crust dough, I probably would have used stuffing or mashed potatoes. jbaby -
