Guys. I have a Valentine’s Day treat for you, today!

Now if that’s doesn’t prove these are the best of the best when it comes to this New England classic, I don’t know what will!

Leftover Turkey Pot Pie From Scratch

November 26, 2018

The best part about cooking a whole turkey? The fact that you can make a homemade stock and use some of the meat for this Leftover Turkey Pot Pie From Scratch!

Friends! How were your Thanksgivings? I hope they were filled with significantly more pie than family drama and soo much turkey that you have tons of leftovers! We had a sick baby so our day was wonderfully low key at home. My husband’s best friend came over for dinner as he does every year, and for the 3 and 3/4 of us, we had a beautiful 15 lb bird. Waayy more than we needed, but that ensured we could all have plenty of leftovers! Is it terrible that before dinner was even over I was already dreaming of this Leftover Turkey Pot Pie From Scratch? 😉
