Your ingredients- missing from this pic is the chicken (or turkey as I have used), butter and salt and pepper!) I swear I usually have real carrots to peal and everything- but the supermarket was out of regular organic carrots. So I bought baby organic carrots instead. Hey, a carrots a carrot right??
First, chop up some sweet potato, celery, and carrots! I have subbed the yam for a regular potato when I didn't have the yams. Aren't these pictures pretty? Vegetables are so beautiful!
Add veggies to a pot and cover with water and lid. Cook until soft
In a seperate pot, melt 3Tbsp butter
Turn off heat. Add 3.5Tbsp of flour and stir well.
Add 1 cup of half and half (I have subbed for regular milk as well, just doesn't come out as creamy)
Then add 1 cup of chicken broth
Add spices- a couple pinches of thyme, a few shakes of poultry seasonings, salt and pepper.
Turn heat back on. Heat to a boil and let thicken. Turn off and let cool.
Chop up leftover turkey or chicken.
Add some frozen peas to the veggies that are still cooking, cook for a few more minutes until frozen peas are softer.
Put pie crust onto pie plate. Yes I'm a cheater and used a ready made crust. Hey I have 4 kiddos, and it's a chore just trying to get THIS much done!
Drain veggies, add veggies and turkey (or chicken) to your sauce mix. Mix well. Pour into piecrust. Yum!
Put the second pie crust on top. Make a few vent slices. I usually cut a small circle (about the diameter of a shot glass) on top as well, and put a little pat of butter in the middle.)
Bake for approx 30 minutes at 425. Until the top is nicely browned. Voila!! Dinner is done!
What does my toughest critic think?? I think he likes it! Please ignore the paint spots on the wall.. we're trying to decide what color to paint our dining room!
You can alter this recipe to not be so artery clogging. Replace the half and half with fat free half and half. Use earth balance for the butter, a low sodium/fat free chicken broth. Make your own pie crust if you have the time. Add more veggies, subtract the meat for a veggie pie. It's SUPER yummy though!!
Thanks for sitting with me through this edition of "What's for dinner!"
