Notes
How long does turkey pot pie last?
Any leftovers will keep in the refrigerator for a few days. The crust will soften as it sits but it will still be delicious!
How do you reheat it?
The easiest way to reheat the leftovers is in the microwave. Just keep in mind that the puff pastry won’t be as flaky when it’s reheated.
Can I use chicken instead?
Yes! My slow cooker shredded chicken works great. Or use a rotisserie chicken to make it easy!
Can I use fresh vegetables or canned vegetables instead of frozen ones?
You can sub fresh vegetables but they will take longer to cook than frozen ones. I don’t recommend using canned veggies because they will overcook and end up a little mushy.
