Serves: 4 servings
Ingredients
- 1 cup cooked turkey, diced
- 1 cup cooked chicken, diced
- 1 cup frozen mixed vegetables
- 1 can cream of chicken soup
- 1 pie crust
- 1/2 cup milk
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). This will ensure that your pot pie bakes evenly and becomes golden brown.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine 1 cup of diced cooked turkey and 1 cup of diced cooked chicken. Make sure the meats are evenly distributed for a balanced flavor in every bite.
- Add 1 cup of frozen mixed vegetables to the bowl. You can use a blend of peas, carrots, corn, and green beans for a colorful and nutritious filling.
- Open the can of cream of chicken soup and add it to the mixture. This will provide a creamy texture and rich flavor to the filling.
- Pour in 1/2 cup of milk to thin out the soup slightly and make the filling more cohesive. Stir the mixture well until all ingredients are combined.
- Season the mixture with salt and pepper to taste. Be sure to mix well so that the seasoning is evenly distributed throughout the filling.
- Prepare your pie crust. If you’re using a store-bought crust, unroll it and place it in a 9-inch pie dish. If you’re making your own crust, roll it out to fit the dish.
- Pour the turkey and chicken filling into the prepared pie crust, spreading it out evenly.
- Cover the filling with the top crust. If you’re using a pre-made crust, simply place it over the filling and crimp the edges to seal. If you’re using a homemade crust, roll it out and place it on top, crimping the edges as well.
- Cut a few slits in the top crust to allow steam to escape during baking. This will help prevent the crust from becoming soggy.
- Place the pie in the preheated oven and bake for 30 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbling.
- Once baked, remove the pot pie from the oven and let it cool for about 5-10 minutes before serving. This will allow the filling to set slightly, making it easier to slice.
- Serve warm and enjoy your Easy Turkey Chicken Pot Pie with a side salad or your favorite bread for a complete meal!
Tips
- Use pre-cooked meats to save time, but ensure they're diced uniformly for even distribution.
- For a extra-crispy crust, brush the top with an egg wash before baking.
- If using frozen vegetables, no need to thaw - they'll cook perfectly in the pie.
- Let the pot pie rest for 5-10 minutes after baking to allow the filling to set and make slicing easier.
- Experiment with different herb seasonings like thyme or rosemary to customize the flavor.
- For a lighter version, use low-fat cream of chicken soup and milk.
- Leftover pot pie can be refrigerated and reheated in the oven to maintain crust crispiness.
