Turkey Pot Pie

I've also made this with chicken, and it was good, but turkey was better. Serves 8.


  • 1 recipe pastry for a (10 inch) double crust pie
  • 4 tablespoons butter
  • 1 small onion, minced
  • 2 stalks celery, chopped
  • 2 carrots, diced
  • 3 tablespoons dried parsley
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground sage
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1/4 teaspoon pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt 
  • 2 cubes chicken bouillon
  • 1 3/4 cups water
  • 3 potatoes, peeled and cubed
  • 1 1/2 cups cooked turkey, cubed
  • 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup milk

    1. Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Roll out bottom pie crust and place in the 10 inch pie pan and set aside.
    2. Place 2 tablespoons of the butter in a large skillet. Add the onion, celery, carrots, parsley, oregano, salt and pepper. Cook and stir until the vegetables are soft. Stir in the bouillon and water. Bring mixture to a boil. Stir in the potatoes, and cook until tender but still firm.
    3. In a medium saucepan, melt the remaining 2 tablespoons butter. Stir in the turkey and flour. Add the milk, and heat through. Stir the turkey mixture into the vegetable mixture, and cook until thickened. Pour mixture into the unbaked pie shell. Roll out the top crust, and place on top of filling. Flute edges, and make 4 slits in the top crust to let out steam.
    4. Bake in the preheated oven for 15 minutes. Reduce oven temperature to 350 degrees and continue baking for 20 minutes, or until crust is golden brown.
