HEARTY POT PIE--a creative, practical way to utilize leftover Thanksgiving turkey! The combination of meat is up to you! We use more dark meat in the pie to give more moistness and because we like to keep any leftover breast meat for sandwiches and chicken salad. Recipe can also be used with chicken, of course.
Yes, you can cause yourself less work by using frozen or canned veggies as well as canned soups in the place of sauce ( please don't complain about this to me--this is my recipe, isn't it?), but I prefer fresh veggies and non-processed foods. And the combo of veggies is up to you! Enjoy!
