This cozy Turkey Pot Pie with biscuits and a creamy filling loaded with turkey, potatoes, carrots, and peas is a simple, family-friendly meal!

Tonia’s Notes
I’m a huge fan of pot pies and often order them at restaurants! So, when I was thinking about what to make with Thanksgiving leftovers, I decided to make a turkey pot pie.
Biscuits are an easy choice for the top, but you can also use a pie crust or puff pastry if you prefer. If you don’t have any leftover turkey, you can easily make a turkey tenderloin or substitute chicken breasts!
How To Make
Saute Veggies
Warm the butter and olive oil in a Dutch oven over medium heat. Add the diced onions and saute for a few minutes before adding the carrots, celery, and minced garlic.
Thicken
Sprinkle with flour, salt, black pepper, thyme, and sage. Cook and stir for two minutes. Then, stir in the chicken broth and potatoes. Simmer for 10-12 minutes, stirring and scraping the bottom often.
Thicken
Stir in the turkey, heavy cream, corn, and peas. Cook for a couple of minutes until heated through. Remove from the heat.
Biscuits
Slice refrigerated biscuits in half and carefully place them on the hot filling. Bake at 400˚F for 18-23 minutes until golden brown and bubbling.
Plan Ahead and Storage
- Plan Ahead: Save your leftover turkey, carrots, celery, corn, and peas to make this pot pie!

Hi Emily,
Thank you! Yes, you can use half-n-half or even whole milk but the sauce will be a little thinner.
Enjoy,
