You just can’t beat prices on turkey around the holidays. Each year I pick up two large ones the week before Thanksgiving and cook them for Turkey Day. Most of the first will be gone after Thanksgiving, but by roasting two, we always have plenty of leftovers. It’s a great way to stretch your budget and have some cash leftover to buy those Christmas presents. I turn the cooked turkey meat into all kinds of yummy dishes, including this Thanksgiving leftovers pot pie which is a family favorite.  Like most pot pies (and casseroles for that matter), it freezes really well. That makes it easy to make up a few of these. Enjoy one for dinner and pop the rest in the freezer.

I love trying new holiday recipes and dishes to make with leftovers of ham or turkey. But sometimes it can be a challenge to change the flavor enough to make the meal interesting for my family (especially my kids). Turkey sandwiches are great but by day two everyone in our house is ready for something completely different. This pot pie is a great way to do  just that.
