Description

A cozy, healthier pot pie made with leftover turkey, tender vegetables, warm herbs, and a light biscuit-style topping. Perfect for weeknights, meal prep, or using up holiday leftovers.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1/3 cup canola oil
  • 1/4 small white onion, diced
  • 3 celery stalks, diced
  • 2 carrots, diced
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried sage
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried parsley
  • 2 cups cooked turkey breast, chopped
  • 1 1/4 cups turkey gravy
  • 1 cup low sodium chicken stock, divided
  • 1 cup white whole wheat flour
  • 2 teaspoons baking soda
  • 1/8 teaspoon salt


Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
  2. In a large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of oil over medium-high heat. Add the onion, celery, and carrots. Cook about 5 minutes until soft. Stir in the herbs.
  3. Add the turkey, gravy, and 1/3 cup of broth. Stir and set aside.
  4. In a bowl, mix the flour, baking soda, and salt. Add remaining oil and broth, stirring until a thick dough forms.
  5. Spread the turkey mixture into an 8×8 inch pan.
  6. Drop the dough across the top and spread gently into an even layer.
  7. Bake about 30 minutes until the crust is golden.
  8. Let rest 10 minutes before serving.

Notes

If the turkey feels dry, add 1/2 cup more broth to the filling. Double this recipe to make 12 servings. Refrigerate up to 4 days or freeze up to 3 months.
