Turkey Pot Pie with Stuffing Topping- a buttery pie crust stuffed full with a creamy turkey filling and topped with a savory stuffing. Pot Pie never tasted so good.
It’s a great way to turn leftover Thanksgiving turkey into a warm, comfort food meal. If stuffing (dressing) is your favorite part of Thanksgiving, you will love this Thanksgiving-style pot pie. The addition of a buttery pie crust takes the combined flavors of turkey and stuffing over the top.
Turkey Pot pie With Stuffing Topping Recipe Tips
- If you don’t have turkey, chicken can be used for this recipe.
- I use a refrigerated Pillsbury pie crust for ease and convenience, but you could use a homemade pie crust. I love this Flaky Pie Crust.
- This recipe calls for Stovetop stuffing, but you could use any leftover stuffing or dressing. You want about 4 cups.
- If using leftover stuffing, be sure it is plenty moist. It will dry out some in the oven.
- Two boxes of Stovetop Stuffing is a little much for this pie, but I find 1 box is not enough. With 2 boxes, you will need to pile it pretty high which is totally ok with me since stuffing is practically my favorite thing.
- If you really want to use up your Thanksgiving leftovers, try spreading a thin layer of mashed potatoes in the bottom of the pie crust.
- The filling can be made a day in advance and then this pot pie is really easy to prep.
- Leftovers will keep about 4 days in the refrigerator and can be reheated in the oven or microwave.
