Ingredients

2 cups leftover turkey meat
1 cup chopped carrots
1 cup chopped celery
1 cup chopped onion
2 bay leaves
1 teaspoon dried thyme
2 cups reduced-sodium chicken broth
1/2 cup frozen green peas
1 1/2 cups leftover mashed potatoes
Salt and pepper

Directions

Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.

In a large saucepan, combine turkey, carrots, celery, onion, bay leaves, and thyme. Pour over chicken broth and set pan over high heat. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium and simmer 5 minutes, until liquid reduces slightly. Remove bay leaves. Remove from heat and stir in peas.

Transfer turkey mixture to a deep-dish pie plate or shallow casserole dish placed on a baking sheet. Spoon mashed potatoes over top and, using the back of a spoon, make an even layer.

Place pie on a baking sheet and bake 15 minutes, until top is golden brown and filling is bubbly.

Serving suggestion: Serve the pie with a bagged green salad.

Quick and Easy!
Rated: 4 stars out of 5

I read the comments first so I was prepared for a slightly soupy mixture. I added a small amount of stuffing mix, stirred... and finally added about a cup of gravy - mixed all. Great consistency and couldn't be easier.Read more

Yuk!
Rated: 1 stars out of 5

I wish I would have read the ratings first. My instincts told me this would be too soupy (since there was no thickening) and... that there was too much thyme. I was right. I even added some leftover turkey gravy and that didn't help w/the thickening. My biggest complaint was the thyme was way, way, wayyyyyy too overpowering. I would use a can of cream of chicken soup and forget the thyme.Read more

had to change a few things to make it 5star
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

Because of the other reviews I read I changed a few things. I reduced the cooking liqued to 1 1/2c and I also added about 1... heaping TBS of cornstarch right before I put it in the oven. I also cooked the veggies longer. It was so great my whole family loved it and the texture was fantastic:)Read more

A little soupy, but good
Rated: 4 stars out of 5

I ended up sucking out half of the stock with a turkey baster once it was finished, but the flavor was still good. I didn't... have enough mashed potatoes to cover the top, so I mixed it with leftover cranberry wild rice pilaf and it worked out great.Read more

way too sloppy
Rated: 1 stars out of 5

can't understand why this recipe calls for 2 cups of stock. It doesn't thicken at all in 5 min. cooking, nor do the carrots,... celery, or onions get cooked. We thought I made a mistake in directions but I followed it exactly. Won;t make this again. Now I have left overs of the leftovers..............Read more

I would make this again
Rated: 4 stars out of 5

I omitted the bay leaves, and followed Rachel Rays's recipe by adding 1/2 cup of cream, 1 egg yolk and 2 tbl sour cream to... the mashed potatoes and then sprinkled the whole thing with paprika. I also served the leftover gravy from Thanksgiving dinner alongside, but it would have been just as good without it.This was a great way to use up the leftovers and I would make it again.Read more
