This savory pie is a delicious way to use up your Thanksgiving leftovers, combining turkey, stuffing, and vegetables in a comforting dish that everyone will love.
Ingredients
2 cups cooked turkey (shredded or chopped)
2 cups leftover stuffing
1 cup leftover gravy (or more, to taste)
1 cup mixed vegetables (like peas, carrots, and corn)
1 teaspoon dried thyme (or your favorite herbs)
Salt and pepper (to taste)
1 pie crust (store-bought or homemade)
1 egg (beaten, for egg wash)
Instructions
Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Prepare Filling: In a large bowl, combine the shredded turkey, leftover stuffing, gravy, mixed vegetables, thyme, salt, and pepper. Mix well until everything is evenly coated. If the mixture seems dry, add a bit more gravy to achieve your desired consistency.
Prepare Pie Crust: Roll out your pie crust and fit it into a 9-inch pie dish. Trim any excess dough hanging over the edges.
Add Filling: Spoon the turkey and stuffing mixture into the prepared pie crust, spreading it evenly.
Top with Crust: If you have a second pie crust, place it over the filling and crimp the edges to seal. Cut a few slits in the top crust to allow steam to escape. If you’re using just one crust, you can also leave it open-faced.
Egg Wash: Brush the top crust with the beaten egg for a golden finish.
Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for about 30-40 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is heated through.
Cool and Serve: Allow the pie to cool for a few minutes before slicing. Serve warm, and enjoy your delicious Thanksgiving leftover creation!
Tips
Customize: Feel free to add any other leftovers you have on hand, such as cranberry sauce or roasted vegetables.
Cheese Option: For a cheesy twist, sprinkle shredded cheese on top of the filling before adding the top crust.
This savory pie is not only a great way to repurpose leftovers but also a comforting dish that captures the flavors of Thanksgiving.
