Yumm- Chicken!

 Pot Pie! Serves 4 
Works for any leftover meat- thanks to LH

Per person
3 oz turkey, cooked and diced
½ cup frozen mixed vegetables, cooked
2 T diced onion
2 T diced celery

¾ cup turkey gravy
Cook celery and onion in a little oil until translucent; add meat and vegetables to warm. Spoon into baking dish(s) evenly and add gravy and top with crust (recipe below)


Sweet tart crust—crust for four servings

2/3 cup shortening
2 cup flour
2 tsp baking powder
1/3 c white sugar

1 egg + 2 T milk

Cut shortening into dry ingredients
Add egg and milk. Dough is sticky. Divide into portions.


In one casserole or individual serving dishes add meat mixture and gravy.
Work each portion of dough into a hand flattened crust the size of the dish(s) and place on top of filled dish(s).  Bake at 400 for 10-15 minutes, until gravy is bubbling and crust is brown.
Another variation on this theme is Sheppard’s Pie (originally for lamb stew)
Instead of crust—top meat mixture with mashed potatoes. Brown as above.
