What is turkey pot pie made of?
It's just like , but with turkey! The filling is made with vegetables like onion, carrot, celery, and green peas. It becomes creamy thanks to some buttah, flour, broth, and heavy cream. I sometimes like to add a splash of wine to the filling, but you can leave it out if your family is like mine and doesn't like the taste.

What's the best way to reheat turkey pot pie?
You can cover the whole dish with foil and reheat the pot pie in a 350ºF oven. Depending on how much is left, it could take 10 to 20 minutes. Just be sure not to place your dish into the oven directly from the fridge. It could shatter, and who wants to clean up shards of glass and turkey from the bottom of an oven until the end of time?

Go ahead and stick the dish in the oven while it preheats or let it hang out on the counter for 15 minutes or so before you put it in the oven.
How long does turkey pot pie last in the fridge?
It'll stay good for about 3 days. Make sure to wrap leftovers tightly in plastic wrap or place the pot pie in airtight container to keep it as fresh as possible.
