This easy turkey pot pie can be made using leftover turkey breast. This simple but delicious meal is made with turkey gravy mix for a flavorful filling a country biscuit mix.
Skillet Turkey Pot Pie
This recipe for turkey pot pie whips easily in a cast iron skillet and makes less dishes than baking in a pie pan. The only additional dish needed is for the biscuit mix and overall this recipe is super easy to clean up.
This homemade favorite is something the whole family can agree on and the flavors have that made from scratch quality that would expect in a homemade meal.
Skillet or Pie Plate
If you don't want to use a cast iron skillet, no worries, you don't need one! A large skillet will work just as great for creating this recipe. Once you're ready to bake the turkey pot pie, pour the pot pie into a 9-inch pie plate and top with the biscuits for baking.
Either way in the oven it only takes between 10-13 minutes to bake.
Ingredients in Turkey Pot Pie
Leftover turkey is perfect for this dinner and a great way to use leftovers from Holiday meals. Of course, you don't have to use leftover turkey in this recipe, you can use carved store-bought turkey and it is just as delicious!
Celery, carrots, potatoes, and onion are packed in this veggie-packed pot pie. Parsley, garlic powder, thyme, rosemary, salt, and pepper bring the flavors out in the dish but what makes turkey pot pie so delicious is the gravy.
Smothering this pot pie in gravy mix turns this meal into a warm and comforting dinner. The mix for this gravy comes together with just water and it makes enough to fill the skillet for a creamy and delicious filling. It also makes enough to pour onto single servings if more gravy is desired.
I flattened the dough a little bit more than the package suggested so that I could create enough biscuits to sit on top of the pot pie filling. Eight biscuits were the perfect amount for the top of my filling. The thickness of my biscuits was perfect for the crust.
