I had all my Thanksgiving leftovers sitting in the fridge, and while I love it all the first time around, warmed up mashed potatoes and Brussels sprouts just aren't what I call a good meal. But I love pot pie.
Whoa! I thought. What better way to use it all up then to throw it all into a dish, top it with biscuit mix and throw in the oven! As it baked, I began having second thoughts. When it came to the table, I was even more anxious. My husband took the first bite and said, "Man! Have you tried this? It's delicious!" And he was right. So, for you who are sick of microwave warmed up turkey, I give you my pot pie.
What you need:
Any or all leftovers from Thanksgiving (or Christmas, for that matter), but leave out the pumpkin pie, if you have any of that left-over, that is
mine, for example was as follows:
- turkey
- mashed potatoes
- Brussels sprouts and carrots
- cooked corn
- gravy
1 egg
1/2 cup milk
In a large dish with high sides, pack all those yummy mashed potatoes down to form a bottom. This will be your "crust". Mix together all your vegetables, turkey and gravy in a large mixing bowl. Pour this all over your potatoes. (If you need more gravy, do this: In large sauce pan melt about 1/2 cup butter, whisk in 1/2 cup flour and cook till creamy. Whisk in 3 cups chicken broth and cook till thickened.) In another mixing bowl, beat together the biscuit mix, egg and milk, pour over the turkey mixture. Bake at 400 degrees for about 30-40 minutes. Enjoy! This paired really well with the spinach salad I forgot to serve on Thanksgiving day.
