Ingredients
- 1 pie crust
- 2 cups cooked turkey, diced
- 2 cups stuffing mix
- 1 cup chicken broth
- 1 cup green beans, cooked
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Prepare a 9-inch pie dish by lightly greasing the surface.
- Roll out the pie crust and carefully place it into the prepared pie dish, ensuring it covers the bottom and sides evenly. Crimp the edges decoratively.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the diced cooked turkey, prepared stuffing mix, and cooked green beans. Mix gently to distribute ingredients evenly.
- Pour the chicken broth over the turkey and stuffing mixture, stirring to moisten and help bind the ingredients. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Transfer the turkey and stuffing mixture into the prepared pie crust, spreading it out evenly to create a uniform layer.
- Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the top of the filling, covering the entire surface.
- Place the pie in the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is melted and slightly bubbly.
- Remove from the oven and let the pie rest for 10 minutes to allow the filling to set and cool slightly.
- Slice into 6 equal portions and serve warm as a hearty main course.
Tips
- Use leftover turkey and stuffing for maximum flavor and convenience. Fresh ingredients work great too!
- Ensure your pie crust is rolled out evenly to prevent uneven baking.
- For extra moisture, don't skip the chicken broth - it helps bind the filling and keeps everything deliciously juicy.
- Let the pie rest for 10 minutes after baking to help the filling set and make cutting easier.
- For a crispy top, you can broil the pie for 1-2 minutes at the end of baking to get a perfectly golden cheese crust.
- Experiment with different cheese varieties like Gruyère or pepper jack for unique flavor profiles.
- Serve with a side salad or cranberry sauce to complement the rich, hearty pie.
