Turkey Pot Pie with Puff Pastry

What can I say about pot pies?

I've made traditional Chicken Pot Pie, varied it with Chicken Pot Pie with Cilantro Biscuits and Ca Ri Ga (Vietnamese Chicken Curry) Pot Pie. And when I'm feeling lazy, fall back to using puff pastry crust like with Bo Kho (Vietnamese Beef Stew) Pot Pie.

So when I'm feeling very lazy and have leftover turkey from Thanksgiving dinner, Turkey Pot Pie with Puff Pastry is the natural result.



Turkey Pot Pie with Puff Pastry

For a 7-inch-by-9-inch pie, you'll need:
Puff pastry
2 cups turkey, shredded or cubed
8 oz mushrooms, sliced
1 small onion, diced
1 carrot, diced
2 stalks celery, diced
8 oz cream of mushroom soup

Remove puff pastry from freezer to thaw.

Pre-heat oven to 350 degrees.

Shred or dice about 2 cups of turkey. Set aside.

Slice an 8 oz package of mushrooms. Then in a large pan on medium-high heat, drizzle a bit of oil and add the mushrooms.



While the mushrooms are cooking, dice a small onion, a carrot, and a few stalks of celery. I threw in some radishes I had in the fridge too, but that's optional. Then add the turkey.



Stir to make sure everything is combined.



Add an 8 oz can of cream of mushroom soup.



Stir to mix everything again. Since the turkey is already seasoned and the cream of mushroom soup is salty, I normally don't add any extra salt, but that's up to you.



Put the filling into a glass or oven-proof pan. I used a 7-inch-by-9-inch pan and a 6-inch square pan. Place the puff pastry on top.



Bake 350 degrees for 45 minutes to an hour until puff pastry is golden.



Dig in.



Enjoy!
