    Turkey Pot Pie with Puff Pastry crust is a comforting and satisfying meal. It's easy to make all in one pan, with a simple puff pastry crust, and baked to golden perfection. This is a meal the whole family is going to enjoy again and again.

    This recipe is a great family meal full of protein and veggies, and then topped with a delicious and buttery pastry crust. It's a great way to use up any leftover turkey or chicken you have in the fridge. I love repurposing leftovers and this recipe is a great way to get it done.

    Turkey Pot Pie with Puff Pastry Ingredients

    • Salted Butter
    • Olive Oil
    • Onion
    • Carrots
    • Celery
    • Potatoes
    • Garlic
    • Thyme
    • Dried Parsley
    • Salt
    • Black Pepper
    • Unbleached All Purpose Flour
    • Chicken Broth
    • Heavy Cream
    • Cooked Shredded Turkey
    • Frozen Peas
    • Frozen Corn
    • Puff Pastry Sheet
    • Egg
    • Water

    Substitution Suggestions:

    • Salted Butter: Unsalted butter can be used, I recommend adding an extra ¼ teaspoon of salt to the sauce.
    • Olive Oil: Any neutral oil like canola, avocado or grapeseed can be used. Or you can use all butter.
    • Carrots/Peas/Corn: To make this meal super duper easy you can use a bag of frozen mixed vegetables.
    • Potatoes: Any type of potatoes will work, I normally use Russet or Yukon Gold.
    • Chicken Broth: Vegetable broth, bone broth, bouillon and water can all be used.
    • Heavy Cream: The cream gives the gravy a richer flavor, but milk or half and half can be used.
    • Shredded Turkey: Feel free to use shredded chicken or beef.

    How to Make Easy Turkey Pot Pie

    1. First step is to gather all your ingredients, chop all the veggies and make sure the puff pastry has been on the counter thawing.
    2. In a large deep sided skillet, melt butter and oil over medium heat. Then add the onions, carrots, celery and potatoes. Sauté for 3-4 minutes until the onions are soft and translucent.
    3. Add the minced garlic, thyme, parsley, salt and pepper and cook another minute until the garlic is fragrant.
    4. Next, sprinkle everything with the flour and stir it all together and cook for another minute or two.

    • Flour sprinkled over sautéed veggies in large oval skillet.
    1. Slowly add the chicken broth while constantly stirring, then slowly stir in the heavy cream.
    2. Reduce heat to medium-low and cook until the potatoes are fork tender and gravy has thickened, about 5-8 minutes.
    3. Finally, stir in the cooked turkey, peas and corn, then remove from heat.

    1. Pour the filling into a greased 9x13 or 3 quart baking dish.
    2. Roll the puff pastry out into a 11x15 rectangle and place on top of the filling. The pastry will shrink as it bakes, so in order to keep the filling covered it needs to be 11x15. Then, prick the pastry all over with a fork - about 10 times.
    3. In a small bowl, whisk together the egg and water until frothy. Evenly brush the egg wash all over the puff pastry.

    • Egg wash rubbed on top of puff pastry.
    1. Bake the pot pie in a preheated 400°F oven for 30-35 minutes until the puff pastry is a deep golden brown and the filling is bubbling.
    2. Let cool and rest about 10 minutes before serving.

    How to Freeze Turkey Pot Pie with Puff Pastry

    Once the pot pie is assembled, let it sit until the filling is completely cooled. Then wrap tightly with plastic wrap and then foil. Label and date on top of the foil. This will last 3-4 months in the freezer.

    To bake: take pot pie out the night before and thaw overnight in fridge. Uncover the pot pie and bake as directed and add an additional 15-20 minutes to the bake time. If the puff pastry is getting too brown, lightly cover it with foil. The additional time will all depend on how thawed the pot pie is before going in the oven.

    Or you can bake the pot pie from frozen. Take the plastic wrap off and cover back up with foil. Bake for 30 minutes covered and then bake for another 30-45 minutes uncovered until the puff pastry is deep golden brown and filling is bubbly.

      I would like to make this into 2 pans and freeze one, should I bake them before freezing or after. And if I bake after freezing what would be the bake time?

        Freeze before you bake. You can thaw it overnight in the fridge and then bake as recipe says but add and extra 15-20 minutes. Or you can bake it from frozen, bake 30 minutes covered and 30-45 minutes uncovered. All this information is also in the blog post. 🙂

      This was a perfect way to use up some leftover turkey that I had in the freezer. Instead of cream, I used a can of cream of mushroom soup (since that's what I had handy) in addition to the chicken broth. It came out really good!

      YUMMY! We always make tetrazzini from our leftover turkey, but this was a great option. Will have to do both in the future!
