THE DAY AFTER THANKSGIVING TURKEY POT PIE
For this Turkey pot pie we are using our Stuffing as the crust. Normally you have a pie crust that would be on the bottom as well as the top of your pie. Not us, we are only putting the stuffing on the bottom of our pie. We then incorporate our Roasted Turkey, gravy and green bean casserole together to make our filling. We are then going to top our pot pie with a piping of our roasted garlic mashed potato. Our toppings of French onions and drizzle of cranberry compote elevate this pie to another level and The Pink Papaya is excited to share this Day After Thanksgiving Turkey Pot Pie recipe with you. However, if you are missing a recipe or two please scroll all the way down to see the recipes we used for our version of this Turkey Pot Pie, where we have attached the links for your convenience.
