Freezer Turkey Pot Pie Ingredients

2 pie crusts – one for dish and one for the cover. I use pre-made ones to save time but if you’re fancy, use your own homemade ones.
Turkey (Chicken, Beef, and Ham are great alternatives)
Frozen mixed vegetables
½ stick of Butter (we use plant based butter from Country Crock)
1/4 cup of flour – enough to make a thick paste for the sauce.
Milk (your choice – we use Almond milk)
Salt & Pepper to season
Minced garlic and onion – just a smidge

Take your turkey and cube it, then mix your frozen vegetables and turkey together and place aside.

Place your pie crust into your pan, and fill it with the frozen vegetables and turkey. Set aside for a few minutes.

Melt some butter down add flour to the pan. This should be a thick paste consistency. Slowly add milk until the mixture becomes a gravy consistency. Add the salt and pepper to season, and look to see if there is enough mixture to fill the pie to the top.

If there is not, simply add a little bit of flour and milk until the desired amount is there.

Once completed you will then add your second pie crust to the top!

Placing the second pie crust on top, take some scissors and cut the extra crust off the pie.
