Turkey Pot Pie With Cream Of Mushroom Soup
Turkey pot pie is a comforting and delicious dish that is perfect for a cozy evening at home. This recipe is made with cream of mushroom soup, which adds a rich and savory flavor to the filling. The pie crust is flaky and buttery, and the filling is packed with tender chunks of turkey, vegetables, and a creamy sauce.
Ingredients
For the crust:
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup unsalted butter, chilled and cubed
- 1/4 to 1/2 cup ice water
For the filling:
- 2 cups cooked turkey, shredded or diced
- 1 can cream of mushroom soup
- 1/2 cup milk
- 1/2 cup frozen peas
- 1/2 cup frozen carrots
- 1/2 cup frozen corn
- 1/4 cup chopped onion
- 1/4 cup chopped celery
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
1. Preheat the oven to 375°F.
2. To make the crust, combine the flour and salt in a large mixing bowl. Add the cubed butter and use a pastry cutter or your hands to cut the butter into the flour until the mixture is crumbly.
3. Gradually add the ice water, a few tablespoons at a time, until the dough comes together and forms a ball.
4. Divide the dough in half and roll out one half on a floured surface to fit a 9-inch pie dish. Place the dough in the dish and trim the excess dough from the edges.
5. To make the filling, melt the butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the onion and celery and cook until softened, about 5 minutes.
6. Add the turkey, cream of mushroom soup, milk, peas, carrots, corn, thyme, salt, and pepper to the skillet. Stir to combine and cook until heated through.
7. Pour the filling into the prepared pie crust.
8. Roll out the remaining dough on a floured surface and cut into strips. Arrange the strips in a lattice pattern over the top of the filling.
9. Bake the pie for 45 to 50 minutes, until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbly.

This recipe is versatile and can be adapted to your taste preferences. Here are some ideas:
- Substitute chicken for the turkey
- Use cream of chicken soup instead of cream of mushroom soup
