Turkey Pot Pie Turnovers

35 Comments

This recipe for turkey pot pie turnovers is just what you need to change up those Thanksgiving dinner leftovers! Don't let any of that turkey go to waste! These would make a great appetizer for a tailgate, too! We love turkey pot pie. In fact, I probably make a roast chicken at least once a month, and I’ll serve mashed potatoes, cranberry sauce, and stuffing, just like on Thanksgiving. The next day, we’ll have all those yummy leftovers, and enjoy it all over again. We can easily eat an entire roast chicken in two days, but a turkey takes a little longer, so I like to get creative.

A couple of weeks ago I made chicken pot pie, and my girls have been begging me to make it again already. Instead of a traditional pot pie, I decided to make turnovers. I bought a turkey breast, made the pot pie sauce, added veggies that I had on hand, enclosed all that goodness inside a Pillsbury Grand Southern Homestyle Buttermilk Biscuit, and we gobbled them up (Pun intended!) Don’t let any of those leftovers go to waste!
