Ingredients

Flour, for dusting
1 sheet frozen puff pastry
1 egg, beaten
1/2 cup milk
2 (11-ounce) cans condensed Cheddar cheese soup
2 (10 3/4-ounce) cans cream of celery soup
1 large turkey skinned, cooked, boned and cubed
2 medium onions, diced
2 cup cooked butternut squash, diced
2 cup cranberries
Salt and pepper

Directions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.

To make the crust, dust surface with flour. Cut 1 sheet of frozen puff pastry into 1-inch strips, 8 inches long. On a large cookie sheet, weave strips into a lattice large enough to cover each pot pie. Mix egg and milk together and brush onto each lattice square. Bake for 5 minutes. Dough will rise and turn light golden brown. Set aside until ready to assemble pies.

In a large saucepan heat the soups. Stir in turkey, onion, squash, cranberries, salt and pepper. Bring mixture to a boil. In an oven-proof dish, fill with mixture and top with the pre-cooked lattice square. Bake for 5 minutes until bubbly and puff pastry is deep golden brown.

Cook's Note:

-Cutting the puff pastry with a fluted-wheel creates elegant edges.

-Good substitutions for Cheddar cheese soup are cream of chicken soup and cream of mushroom soup.

Best & Easiest Pot Pie Ever -
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

My family loves this receipe! They don't like turkey so I substitute leftover roast chicken. I add sauted chopped red bell... pepper for color -- it makes it very pretty on the plate. I do find that cooking the puff pastry in a lattice is a little difficult because the pastry does not cook evenly where the pieces cross. I solved this problem by cutting the puff pastry into strips, baking it and then layering it on the pot pie. I also add a little tabasco sauce, worcheshire sauce, and dijon mustard, as it is a little bland for my family. You can also lighten it up with low fat creme soups. I use one can each of cream of celery, cream of chicken, cream of mushroom, and cheddar cheese. In this way, no one flavor overpowers the dish. Thanks Paula -- You did it again!Read more

Looking for easiest leftover recipe
Rated: 4 stars out of 5

This is the easiest turkey pot pie to make. I used leftover corn, asparagus and artichoke. I also tried cutting the fat and... used 1 Healthy Request Cream of Chicken soup and 1 part water. The only reason I didn't give it 5 stars was because the crust directions are way off. Save yourself some grief and bake the crust for at least 15 minutes or until all the way puffed. Mine was undercooked. Read more

Rated: 2 stars out of 5

Large Turkey = 10 or 20 # ? Recipe = 2 or 6 pot pies? & of what size? Lattice top baked twice till golden brown = too... browned? I adore Paula's recipes but this one is just too sparse on details to begin to try, Darlin' .Read more

Not A Professional Cook
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

Paula Deen has never claimed to be a "professional cook." She is a home cook. Instead of insulting someone, without even... trying the recipe, you might engage your brain and knowledge instead, Carol. Is it that you just enjoy degrading someone? I do hope that you don't believe that your review will deter anyone from trying the recipe. Constructive criticism would be better. The person stating that the recipe did not give a pan size, etc. had a legitamite gripe. Your review didn't state anything more than an insult with no purpose. You and other trolls are so sad...Read more

Professional Recipe?
Rated: 1 stars out of 5

Is this recipe written by a professional chef? What was the yield on the leftover turkey? And, a can of cheddar cheese soup... and cream of celery. Come on. If I wanted a Campbell Soup recipe I would have gone to their site. Read more

only 10 minutes total baking time?
Rated: 4 stars out of 5

I made this recipe last night. I had to decide on size of pan and amt of turkey as the recipe did not state this. I baked... the lattice crust for 5 minutes which was not long enough so I continued to bake it another 5 minutes or so. I then put the lattice crust on the hot pie filling and again the 5 minutes stated was not enough time. I should have just followed the puff pastry box instructions for baking. Although it tasted good, it would have been better with a fully cooked crust.Read more
