Introduction
Leftover turkey can be used in a variety of delicious dishes such as soups, sandwiches, and pasta dishes. One of the favorites is turkey pot pie, which is not only easy to make but also perfect for a busy holiday weekend. In this article, we will share a simple and mouthwatering turkey pot pie recipe that will help you make the most of your leftover turkey.
Ingredients
Before we dive into the recipe, let's take a look at the ingredients you'll need:
- 1 sheet (half of a 17.3-ounce package) frozen puff pastry, defrosted in the refrigerator
- ¼ cup (1/2 stick) unsalted butter
- 1 cup roughly chopped fresh mushrooms
- ½ cup chopped onion
- ½ cup chopped carrots
- 1/3 cup all-purpose flour
- ½ teaspoon kosher salt
- ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
- 2 cups turkey or chicken broth
- ½ cup heavy cream, half and half or whole milk
- 3 cups shredded cooked chicken or turkey
- ½ cup corn (fresh, canned or frozen; they don’t have to be thawed)
- 1 cup peas (fresh, canned or frozen; they don’t have to be thawed)
Directions
Now, let's get cooking! Follow these step-by-step instructions to make a delicious turkey pot pie:
- Preheat the oven to 425°F.
- In a large saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the mushrooms, onion, and carrots. Cook for 7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the mushrooms have released their liquid and it has evaporated. The vegetables should be just starting to turn golden.
- Stir in the flour, salt, and pepper. Continue to stir until the vegetables are well coated with the flour and everything turns blondish.
- Gradually add the broth and cream, stirring frequently, until the mixture is thick and bubbly. This usually takes about 5 minutes.
- Add the shredded turkey, corn, and peas. Stir to combine.
- Fill a 9-inch pie pan with the pot pie mixture.
- Roll out the puff pastry dough slightly on a lightly floured surface. If you have a small cookie cutter, you can cut 4 to 6 shapes from the crust and then use a brush of cream or milk to adhere the shapes to the top of the crust for decoration.
- Place the puff pastry over the filling and trim off the corners if they hang below the bottom of the pan. If you didn't cut out shapes from the crust, use a sharp knife to make several slits in the crust so steam can escape.
- Bake for 20 to 30 minutes until the crust is golden brown and everything is bubbly.
- Let the pie sit for about 10 minutes before slicing and serving. Alternatively, you can serve it with a large serving spoon instead.

Frequently Asked Questions
What are alternative medicines?
Alternative medicine refers to treatments other than those considered by mainstream medicine to be useful for treating disease. These include traditional Chinese medicine.
Alternative medicine may also refer not to scientific evidence but that have been successfully used in clinical practice. Examples include meditation, hypnosis, yoga, aromatherapy, reflexology, flower essences, and many others.
What is the difference between Naturopathic and Holistic Medicine?
The two main types of medicine are conventional medicine and complementary/alternative medicine. Conventional medicine is based on surgery and drugs as the primary treatment. Complementary/Alternative Medicine (CAM) uses natural therapies such as herbs, vitamins, acupuncture, and massage to treat illness and promote health. CAM is not considered a substitute for conventional treatment but rather an addition to helping patients who want to take control of their healthcare by choosing what they believe is most appropriate.
On the other hand, naturopathy is used to complement conventional medical practices. The whole person, mind and spirit are treated by naturopathy. There are many kinds of naturopathy.
It is important to note that some CAM modalities overlap with conventional medicine. Both doctors and naturopaths may prescribe herbal remedies. However, naturopaths prefer lifestyle changes to prescription medications.
Naturopathy is often called “complementary” because it complements conventional medicine, not supplants it. Naturopaths may prescribe medication when needed.
There are differences between naturopathic medicine and other CAM modalities:
- Naturopaths don't usually prescribe medication.
- Naturopaths are able to work closely with patients' family physicians and refer them to specialists when necessary.
- Naturopathic physicians must be licensed by their provinces. CAM practitioners need to be self-regulated.
- Naturopathy emphasizes prevention and wellness while providing education about diet and exercise.
- Naturopaths strongly emphasize lifestyle factors, which include nutrition, sleep, stress management, exercise, and mental well-being.
- Naturopharmacists specialize on the treatment of certain conditions with botanicals or minerals.
- Naturopodists are skilled in providing personalized care that meets the needs of each patient.
- Naturopaths are licensed by regulatory bodies like the College of Naturopathic Physicians of Ontario.
- Provincial regulatory bodies grant licenses to naturopatrists.
- Naturopaticians have been registered with The Canadian Association of Naturopathic Doctors.
- The College of Naturopaths of British Columbia licenses Naturotherapists.
- Naturobiotic therapists are licensed by the United States National Board of Medical Examiners.
- The Australian Health Practitioner Regulation Agency licenses homeopaths.
- The term “holistic” refers the belief that all aspects, including physical, spiritual, social, and mental, should be taken into consideration when making decisions about one’s health. Holistic doctors will consider these elements together instead of focusing only on one aspect.
What's the difference between alternative medicine or complementary medicine?
Alternative medicine refers only to treatment methods that are not recommended by mainstream doctors but have been proven to provide beneficial results for certain conditions. Some examples include homeopathy and aromatherapy, acupuncture, naturopathy, Ayurveda (TCM), traditional Chinese medicine, traditional Chinese medicine, Ayurveda, and traditional Chinese medicine. Complementary medicines are therapies that can be used alongside traditional medicine. These include supplements like vitamins, minerals, herbs and amino acids as well probiotics and other natural substances.
Both types of medicine are used frequently, but many conventional doctors won't recommend them due insufficient evidence or safety concerns.
The best way to integrate CAM into patient care is not a consensus among health care professionals.
Many CAM practices are based on theories developed over thousands of years. Some of these therapies may work, according to clinical trials that have been conducted over the last 20 years.
Many studies show that acupuncture may help relieve pain. Preliminary data also show that acupuncture may help to reduce nausea and vomiting caused by chemotherapy. Studies have also shown that acupuncture may reduce symptoms of irritable-bowel syndrome, fibromyalgia or chronic fatigue syndrome.
Other CAM methods may have therapeutic effects on conditions like HIV/AIDS and diabetes, heart disease or hypertension, Parkinson's, Alzheimer's, Parkinson's, and rheumatoidarthritis.
Although there is still much to learn about the effectiveness and safety of CAM, experts are unanimous in their belief that it can be used to treat various conditions.
As a consequence, more people turn to CAM practitioners for relief of common illnesses.
Despite this popularity, many people still have questions about “alternatives” and “complementary” medicine.

How to find a doctor who practices holistic medicine?
Specialists are the best doctors. In this case, we talk about holistic medicine. This means that doctors must learn how to treat their patients holistically. You should be able to explain your holistic health to them and why you would like to see a holistic physician.
The doctor should be able to understand holistic health as well as complementary and alternative therapies (CAM), such chiropractic care, massage therapy, and acupuncture.
Holistic practitioners should also be capable of diagnosing your condition and explaining the available treatments to you so that you can make an informed decision about your treatment options.
You should also ask if the doctor has certifications from professional organizations like the National Certification Board for Therapeutic Massage & Bodywork or the American Holistic Medical Association. The NBOHMCA provides certification in many areas, including naturopathic medicine, acupuncture, homeopathy, clinical nutrition, herbalism, and aromatherapy.
