Creamy Turkey Pot Pie

I cooked a turkey earlier on in the week and have to do something with the left overs, so I made a pot pie.  For a change I added some heavy cream to it and am sure glad I did.  I know it adds so many extra calories, but it was well worth it!  I will definitely be making my pot pies this way again!  Had it with some garlic bread and should have served a salad with it, but I have been eating salad every day for over a week, I was kinda greened out!

2 cups left over turkey, chopped
2 cups turkey gravy
1 zucchini, chopped
1 potato, peeled and diced
1 carrot sliced
4 oz button mushrooms, sliced
1/2 frozen corn
1/4 cup sliced green onions
1/2 cup heavy cream
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon pepper
1 teaspoon thyme
1 teaspoon garlic granules
2 pie crusts

1.  Preheat oven to 400 F.

2.  Combine all ingredients, mixing well. 

3.  Spoon mixture into pie shell.  Top with remaining shell.  Bake for 1 hour to 1 hour and 15 minutes.  Cool slightly before serving and as always, enjoy!

The BEST turkey rub this side of...well anywhere!


I made this from two recipes that I really liked but couldn't decide on!  So I made the decision to blend and I am sooooo glad I did.  I have never tasted a more flavorful turkey and the gravy was out of this world!  If you have a spare turkey just lying around, you should really try this...or go buy one and try it!  You will thank me for it.  All spices are dried spices, if you want to use fresh use 1/3 of the amount listed.  This amount should be more than enough for a whole turkey under and on the skin.

3 teaspoons salt
3 teaspoons pepper
3 teaspoon thyme
3 teaspoons rosemary
6 tablespoons Chef John's Dry Rub
6 tablespoons brown sugar
3 cups water
6 tablespoons lime juice

Mix all ingredients well until there are no clumps.  Left up skin on the turkey breast and any other area you would like the seasoning under the skin.  Then sprinkle on top of the skin generously.  Bake according the directions on the turkey.  When done use your drippings for gravy and enjoy immensely!
