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.

One year I thought I'd try something different with the leftover Thanksgiving turkey. So after reading various pot pie recipes and consulting with my grandmother, I took all the ingredients I liked, added some of my own touches and created this recipe over 10 years ago. I make this the Sunday after every Thanksgiving and its in high demand. I also save some of the leftover turkey to make turkey street tacos too. That's on Tuesdays :)

Lower Carb Turkey Pot Pie (biscuit style topping) Lower Carb Turkey Pot Pie (biscuit style topping)
This is a recipe modified from the one I found on the Carbquik (Tova Industries) website.I only say "lower Carb" on this one because I do use peas and carrots, which some people don't eat on a low carb diet, generally the keto folks, but I'm not keto so I eat them in moderation.I made this a one pot meal by using an oven safe sautee pan. It turned out so good and the family gobbled it up.#August2026
