Leftover Turkey Pot Pie
Recipe video above. Leftover turkey is quite dry, given it's a lean meat. So smothering it in a creamy sauce for a Turkey Pot Pie is the ideal way to repurpose perfectly good leftovers! This is like a cross between Chicken Pot Pie and Cheesy Garlic Bread. While the filling is delicious, that buttery garlicky cheesy topping steals the show. I just love how it gets soaked with the creamy white sauce!!Use whatever veggies you want. And of course, chicken is a straight up simple substitute for turkey if that's what you have.

📝 Preparation Steps
1
Preheat oven to 180°C/350°F (all oven types)

Topping: Stir together melted butter and garlic. Place bread chunks in a bowl, drizzle over butter, toss. Set aside.
3
Brown mushrooms: Heat oil in an oven-proof skillet over high heat. (Note 3) Add mushrooms and cook until browned - about ⏱️ 4 minutes. Remove.

7
Make roux: While stirring, add half the milk and mix quickly to dissolve the paste into the liquid (this happens quite quickly). Add remaining liquid and stir. Add stock powder, salt and pepper, stir.
8
Thicken sauce: Cook for ⏱️ 2 - 3 minutes, stirring regularly. It should start steaming and bubbling a bit, and the sauce will thicken. Thickness test: coat back of wooden spoon, you should be able to draw a line across it (see video, Note 3)
9
Add turkey, peas and mushrooms, and mix into sauce.
10
Top with bread, spread to cover surface. Grate over parmesan if using, top with melting cheese.
11
Bake: Bake for ⏱️ 12 - 15 minutes or until the cheese gets some brown spots. Tent foil over so it doesn't stick to the cheese, then bake for a further ⏱️ 10 minutes.
12
Serve: Sprinkle with additional parmesan if desired, then serve!
