Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pieces Pie crust (store-bought or homemade)
- 2 cups Cooked turkey, shredded or chopped
- 1.5 cups Stuffing
- 1.5 cups Mashed potatoes
- 0.5 cups Cranberry sauce
- 1 cup Gravy
- 1 cup Cooked vegetables (e.g., green beans, corn, carrots)
- 1 large Egg (for egg wash)
- 1 tablespoon Water
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Roll out one pie crust and fit it into a 9-inch pie dish. Trim any excess overhang and set aside.
In the pie crust, layer the shredded turkey evenly across the bottom.
Spread the stuffing over the turkey, pressing it down gently to form an even layer.
Next, spoon the mashed potatoes over the stuffing and smooth them out.
Add the cooked vegetables on top of the mashed potatoes to create another layer.
Drizzle the gravy evenly over the entire pie filling.
Dollop small spoonfuls of cranberry sauce on top for added flavor.
Place the second pie crust over the filling, sealing and crimping the edges to close. Trim any excess dough as needed.
Cut a few small slits in the top crust to allow steam to escape while baking.
In a small bowl, whisk together the egg and water to create an egg wash. Brush this mixture over the top crust to promote even browning.
Place the pie on a baking sheet to catch any drips, then transfer it to the oven.
Bake for 40-45 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is heated through.
Remove the pie from the oven and let it cool for 10 minutes before slicing and serving.
Enjoy your flavorful Thanksgiving Leftover Pie as a hearty, post-holiday meal!
