Thanksgiving Dinner Leftovers Pot Pie Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat an oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C).
• Place the peas and carrots, green beans, and celery into a saucepan; cover with water, bring to a boil, and simmer over medium-low heat until the celery is tender, about 8 minutes. Drain the vegetables in a colander set in the sink, and set aside.
• Melt the butter in a saucepan over medium heat, and cook the onion until translucent, about 5 minutes. Stir in 2/3 cup of flour, salt, black pepper, celery seed, onion powder, and Italian seasoning; slowly whisk in the chicken broth and milk until the mixture comes to a simmer and thickens. Remove from heat; stir the cooked vegetables and turkey meat into the filling until well combined.
• Fit 2 pie crusts into the bottom of 2 9-inch pie dishes. Spoon half the filling into each pie crust, then top each pie with another crust. Pinch and roll the top and bottom crusts together at the edge of each pie to seal, and cut several small slits into the top of the pies with a sharp knife to release steam.
• Bake in the preheated oven until the crusts are golden brown and the filling is bubbly, 30 to 35 minutes. If the crusts are browning too quickly, cover the pies with aluminum foil after about 15 minutes. Cool for 10 minutes before serving.

Steps:

• Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. On a lightly floured surface, roll out the puff pastry with a floured rolling pin to 9 by 13 inches. Transfer to the lined baking sheet, cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate while preparing the pie filling.
• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Coat a 9-by-13-inch baking dish with nonstick cooking spray.
• Melt the butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the celery and onions and cook, stirring occasionally, for about 5 minutes. Stir in the flour and cook 2 minutes more. Add the turkey, broth, half-and-half, Brussels sprouts, stuffing mix, salt and pepper and stir to combine. Cook until the sauce begins to thicken, 5 to 7 minutes. Remove from the heat.
• Transfer the mixture to the prepared baking dish. Use a tablespoon to drop the cranberry sauce randomly over the mixture. Top with the puff pastry dough. Use a pastry brush to evenly coat the puff pastry with the egg. Using a paring knife, cut a few small vents in the center of the pie.
• Bake until the puff pastry is golden brown, about 45 minutes. Let stand 5 minutes before cutting.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Melt butter in a large skillet over medium-high. Add leeks, carrots, thyme, 1 1/2 teaspoons salt, and 1/2 teaspoon pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, until vegetables have softened, about 5 minutes. Sprinkle with flour; cook, stirring, 1 minute. Whisk in broth and add potato. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer, partially covered and stirring occasionally, until potato is tender and mixture has thickened, 6 to 7 minutes. Add turkey. Let cool about 30 minutes.
• On a lightly floured surface, roll dough into a 15-inch round; fit into a deep-dish pie dish. Add stuffing and dollop with half of cranberry sauce, then add turkey mixture. Fold dough over, leaving center exposed. Brush dough with egg; bake 40 minutes. Dollop top with remaining cranberry sauce; bake until bubbling in center and bottom of crust is golden, 30 to 40 minutes more. (If browning too quickly, tent with foil.) Let cool at least 30 minutes before serving.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Coat 2-quart shallow baking dish with cooking spray. Spread potatoes in bottom of baking dish. Toss vegetables and turkey with gravy until coated. Spoon mixture into dish over potatoes; sprinkle with cheese.
• On lightly floured surface, roll dough out 1" wider than baking dish. Using 1" to 1-1/2" cutters, cut several small shapes out of dough. Place dough over baking dish, trimming pastry to fit dish as necessary. Gently press to seal. Crimp edge if desired; brush egg. Place cutouts on pastry; brush with egg.
• Bake 20-25 minutes until heated through and pastry is golden.
