Turkey Pot Pie

My Aunt made a Chicken Pot Pie for Hubby and me a couple of weeks ago. It was so good! I thought to myself, I want to create a similar recipe but with Turkey instead. I thought that would be perfect for the holidays - a way to reuse your Thanksgiving turkey.

This recipe is also good on a regular day. I provide you with a way to make this with uncooked turkey as well. You have to boil Turkey in water, vegetables, herbs, and spices. It's perfect to eat on a cold day or when you have a couple of hungry mouths to feed.

This Turkey Pot Pie is Savory and fairly easy to make. The Pot Pie's creamy filling is made with heavy whipping cream, vegetables, herbs, and spices. You absolutely won't regret making this for you and your family.
