Description
Creamy, savory slow cooker turkey pot pie filling packed with tender turkey, carrots, peas, and a rich buttery sauce, the ultimate way to reinvent your leftovers into pure comfort food.
Ingredients
3 cups leftover cooked turkey, shredded or chopped
3 carrots, diced
2 celery stalks, diced
1 small onion, chopped
3 cloves garlic, minced
3 cups chicken broth
1 cup frozen peas
1 cup frozen corn
1 cup heavy cream
1/3 cup flour
1/2 cup butter
1 teaspoon black pepper
1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon paprika
Instructions
1. Add the shredded turkey, carrots, celery, onion, garlic, chicken broth, peas, corn, pepper, Italian seasoning, salt, and paprika to your slow cooker. Stir to combine.
2. Cover and cook on LOW for 5–6 hours, letting the turkey and vegetables become tender and flavorful.
3. About 30 minutes before serving, melt butter in a saucepan. Whisk in the flour until smooth, then slowly pour in the heavy cream, whisking until thickened.
4. Stir the creamy mixture into the slow cooker and cook uncovered for another 20 minutes, until the filling is rich and thick.
5. Serve hot with biscuits, pie crust, or puff pastry topping for the perfect cozy dinner.
Notes
This filling stores beautifully, keep leftovers in airtight containers for up to 4 days or freeze for up to 3 months.
Reheat gently over the stove with a splash of cream or broth to maintain the creamy texture.
For a fun twist, spoon the filling into ramekins and top with puff pastry for individual pot pies.
Add extra veggies like mushrooms or potatoes for even more heartiness.
