We all know well that day-old turkey is quite dry.
Adapted from my classicChicken Pot Pie, this also makes use of leftover bread for acheesy garlic bread topping.

Got leftover turkey?

- Bits of bread lying around?
Some scraps of veggies?
Milk, butter and flour?
Then you’re free to MAKE THIS Turkey Pot Pie!
And Im glad I did, because the garlic bread topping totally MAKES it!!!
What goes in Leftover Turkey Pot Pie
Heres what you gotta make this.
Take note: Any veg, any melting cheese!
from a taste perspective, the answer is very little.
Turkey meat has a slightly deeper flavour, but most people cant tell the difference.
I find chicken meat is slightly more tender, being thats its a smaller bird.
But with leftovers and especially redeployed in a way like this, one can barely tell the difference.
The spirit of this pie is using up leftovers, remember, so just about anything goes!
Garlic and onion Essential flavour base for virtually every savoury dish around these parts!
Its essentiallycheesy garlic bread.
The top gets beautiful and golden and the underside soaks up the creamy sauce…. UGH!
Heres what you need:
Bread Any bread is fine here.
If you have a loaf or rolls, tear it into chunks.
Entirely optional but if youve got it, I recommend it!
Cheese Any cheesee you have is fine here anything that melts!
But freshly-shredded is best.
Now its just a matter of adding the turkey and assembling!
Ive used mozzarella slices today because I thats what I had.
They were pre-sliced which I dont like; it doesnt melt as well as slicing or shredding your own.
But hey, never waste perfectly good ingredients!
Then pull it out of the oven and dig in!
I really hope you got a turkey big enough this year so you have enough leftovers to make this!
Multiply that by the number of guests you are catering for.
But … then double it.
