Ingredients:
- 2 cups prepared stuffing
- 2 cloves garlic powder
- 2 teaspoons ground sage
- 2 pinches pepper
- 1 pinch salt
- 2 cups cooked turkey, shredded
- 1 package mixed vegetables
- 1 cup turkey gravy
Instructions:
-
Preheat oven: Start by preheating your oven to 350°F (176°C). This ensures that it’s nice and toasty when your pot pie is ready to bake.
-
-
Prepare vegetables: Cook the mixed vegetables according to the package instructions, ensuring they are well-drained to avoid excess moisture in your pot pie.
-
Mix ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the shredded turkey with the cooked vegetables. Add in the garlic powder, ground sage, pepper, and salt, mixing everything together until well-combined. This flavorful mixture is the heart of your pot pie.
-
Prepare crust (optional): If you’re using a bottom pie crust, line a 9 x 13 rectangular cake pan with the crust. Prick the crust all over with a fork and pre-bake it until it’s light golden brown. This step adds an extra layer of texture to your pot pie.
-
Assemble the pot pie: Spoon the turkey and vegetable mixture into the prepared cake pan, spreading it out evenly. Pour the turkey gravy over the top, ensuring that every nook and cranny is covered with its delicious goodness.
-
Top with stuffing: Now comes the fun part! Take your prepared stuffing and spread it evenly over the top of the turkey and vegetable mixture. This will serve as your flavorful and crispy crust.
-
Bake: Place the assembled pot pie in the preheated oven and bake for approximately 30 minutes, or until the filling is heated through and the stuffing crust is golden brown and crispy.
-
Serve: Once baked to perfection, remove the pot pie from the oven and allow it to cool for a few minutes before serving. Slice into generous portions and enjoy the comforting flavors of the holidays all over again!
