If you’re anything like me, you probably don’t want to hear anything about turkey, and glad that Thanksgiving is over, and that the dang turkey is gone.
Though we’ve salvaged all the white and dark meat possible, and thrown away the carcass, we still have to appreciate the after-Thanksgiving meals we created from that wonderful bird! This year, instead of cooking a whole turkey, I decided to cook a bone-in turkey breast.
Which brings me to my recipe for today: Turkey Pot Pie. This is your classic, comfort food: flaky pie crust; tender, chunks of turkey breast, vegetables, in a creamy, sauce. I had never made a pot pie before, but I wasn’t about to let that stop me. Thank goodness for frozen, pie crust — of course, only made with vegetable oil!
