From Feed the Soul Blog: Turkey is all fun and games for a while. But usually by the time day three or four of eating Thanksgiving leftovers rolls around, I'm ready to stay far away from turkey dinner with cranberry sauce and stuffing until next November. Dare to break out of your post-Thanksgiving rut with this quick and simple turkey pot pie. The best part: There's a good chance you've got most — if not all — of these items in your kitchen after cooking a Thanksgiving dinner. The crust is flaky and buttery, while the creamy inside is bursting with hearty chunks of turkey, sweet carrots and celery and earthy thyme. You can use whatever frozen veggies you might have on hand. I opted for cauliflower and broccoli. Courtney Teague/feedthesoulblog.com Skip to the full recipe. You can easily adapt this recipe to use pre-made pastry, but I'll teach you how to make homemade pastry. WAIT, don't give up on me yet! It takes just minutes to prepare and all you need is butter, flour, salt and water. It's way, way better than anything you'd buy at the store. Hands down, no comparison. Still want to save some time and use pre-made pie crust? You can pick up frozen pie crust sheets at the grocery store. Follow the instructions on the package to ensure you're properly thawing and cooking them.
