Turkey Pot Pies in a Jar can be made with leftover turkey to make for a quick and easy meal!
It’s almost here, Thanksgiving! Are you busy prepping for the big day? I am about to head into my kitchen and get going on cooking. I have a lot of dishes to prepare before my family arrives tomorrow. Along with all the preparation, I know that no matter what we will always end up with lots of leftover turkey.
Do you have that same issue? I wouldn’t call it an issue I guess because I like to use it in other meals like these delicious Turkey Pot Pies in a Jar! I honestly look forward to the day after Thanksgiving even more than the day of and not because of the crazy shopping but the leftover turkey for this recipe. It’s one of my favorites!
These Turkey Pot Pies use simple ingredients that are easy to make. I love making these for my family and they enjoy eating them. I’m certain yours will too! Be sure to also check out these Chicken Pot Pies in a Jar too.
I decided to make these adapting my recipe for Chicken Pot Pie. What I LOVE about this recipe, is that since it’s in the jar, you can use either gluten free or gluten filled pie crust. I make the filling of the pot pie gluten free, but I am able to use gluten filled crust for my husband. He loves this because although I’m gluten free, he isn’t. He enjoys having a little gluten once in a while. This way, I can still eat my own too without a lot of extra work!
Now, as you get ready for Thanksgiving, be sure to save this recipe for Turkey Pot Pies in a Jar for your Friday night dinner!
Enjoy!
