turkey pot pie

with all of the turkey leftovers we had, i was very excited to give pot pie another try! the first time i tried making pot pie with my cousin, we ran out of flour and substituted pancake mix instead...then didn't have a processor to make pie crust with so we had to improv a lot! it still turned out well in my opinion :)

well this time around i made turkey pot pie with my friend liya and she happened to pick up a processor over black friday! i was nervous about the pie crust but we used the same recipe as i did last time (melissa d'arabians) and it was fantastic! from what i hear, pie crust usually has shortening but hers uses butter. well let me just say we succeeded! the crust was so flaky! next time i just need to work on presentation--you know, folding the crust so it's pretty :)

the filling was great! we had peas, carrots, corn, celery and turkey. we boiled the vegetables for a bit and then simultaneously cooked a chopped onion in butter then added some flour (to make a roux) then some chicken broth and then eventually added in the vegetables and turkey. the mixture doesn't seem thick but give it some time and it will get there! then we rolled out our dough, put it in the pan, put in our filling, covered it with the remaining dough and baked for ~35 mins. it was so flavorful and eaten very quickly! i had a tiny sliver left for lunch this morning so i would say it was a crowd pleaser! i think i need to try making sheperd's pie soon, hehe.
