Creamy Turkey Pot Pie

Chicken pot pie is the ultimate comfort food. The Buttery, flaky pie crust topping a shredded chicken or in this case turkey plus vegetables, and a creamy sauce.

We always have leftover roasted turkey in the fridge the day after Thanksgiving or on the Christmas day. We are all tired of eating leftover turkey sandwiches, so I always try to come up with something new with the turkey leftovers. This recipe works excellent with chicken or turkey and why not put that turkey to good use by making a delicious pot pie for dinner.
