It turns out we only had a pecan pie and a sweet potato pie yesterday. I should have bought a cheese plate or something. Oh well, pie for leftovers is always welcome 🙂
 
Cooking is so much fun.

I once knew a girl who should’ve been a comedienne, as about every other thing she said was uproaringly funny. She could have your face and sides begging you to stop laughing. Her first job out of high school was in a poultry processing plant where she had to hurriedly grab wrapped giblets and necks and stuff them as fast as possible into the . . . uh . . . cavities of chickens or turkeys, whichever was rapidly sailing down the conveyor belt. 😜 (Envision Lucy Arnaz in one of her factory conveyor belt escapades with Ethel Mertz. 🤣) She kept us entertained with her outrageous descriptions for about three years, until she quit to devote full time to her senior year of college. Her annual Christmas letters still leave us smiling or giggling at odd times throughout the year, when she comes to mind.

Ok. My experimental Turkey Pot Pie came out really good. Uses up a lot of odd turkey pieces…

Dough: I used those Cressant roll packages. Two “triangles” for bottom, 2 for top. You’ll need a couple packages of those critters.

Filling.
2 carrots sliced
Can of peas
Couple celery stalks sliced
Onion diced.
2 chicken bullion cubes.
1 tsp or so black pepper
Chicken broth or water.

Cook the veggies and bullion cubes and pepper until tender. Drain.

Add 2 cans of cream of mushroom soup.

Add perhaps 8 or 10 Oz of turkey meat chunks. More if you really want it turkey-ey.

This creates the filling

Fill the dough as much as possible with this filling. Bottom layer, filling, cover top with more dough.

I used a large Pyrex baking dish.

Bake 350 degrees for about 20 or so minutes, or until golden brown top.

I wasn’t sure this was gonna work, but it came out amazingly well.

Can you use ready made pie crust instead of crescent roll dough?
 
Sure. I just (over) bought on packages of crescent rolls, so I thought I’d give them a try. Nice flavor, but normal pie crust oughta work too.
