    Made as listed except: only 1 TB butter, 2 cups turkey, 2.5 cups veggies, added mushrooms, used homemade broth, added herbs. I'll leave off the bottom crust next time since it didn't add much. I definitely needed the deep dish pie, not a shallow one. The teen liked and said to make it again. - 7/12/11

    Great way to use up the Thanksgiving turkey. Made the insides the night before and refrigerated because I knew this would be a busy evening. Also baked with only the top crust. - 11/29/11

    Perfect to use up leftover turkey! My picky 2 year old son even enjoyed it. My first pot pie was a success due to this recipe! - 1/4/10

    I made this with chicken cooked in a slow cooker and homemade chicken broth I had in the freezer, cooked my own potatoes, green beans and carrots along with frozen peas. It was really delicious, and far better after sitting overnight in the frig. Will make again. - 12/9/14

    Taste is good. I reduce the fat/calories by not adding onions, just using 1 Tbls of butter and flour, making a roux, not using milk and just using "Better than Bullion" stock as entire fluid added, using a little less than total. STILL YUMMY! - 8/26/10

    We make these every year. Every family member that wants one has to bring their own pie shell and pan. Then we line up all the leftovers and everyone make their pies the way the like them. Usually uses up all leftovers. And everyone gets to enjoy a few days later. - 6/27/18

    My first ever try at pot pie and it came out great. The first time I made the recipe exactly as given (with leftover turkey); the next time I used chicken & added extra veggies & potatoes and left off the bottom crust. It was great both times! Definitely a keeper. - 11/30/15

    i made this substituting empanada wrappers for the top crust and omitting the bottom crust which makes it somewhat lighter. I did like it pretty well and it certainly was easy to make. I did not get the flour mixture to bubble. - 11/28/18

    Sodium content is high but you can omit the salt. Use less butter. This is a fabulous pot pie recipe and I skimp on food all day to have this once in awhile. Leftovers go in the freezer for a quick meal another time. I love that it goes together so quickly and is so filling. We love this!!! - 8/8/18

    The sodium way too high for this senior. Had to cut back, used unsalted butter 1 T used skinless, boneless chicken thighs, mushrooms NO PEAS, corn, fresh carrots, nothing canned because of the sodium. Also used no sodium broth. - 12/2/17

    Love this. I make the full recipe and make a smaller pot pie. Freeze half the filling and use it within 6 weeks. There are only 2 of us and it makes enough for us when we half it and Hubb u has some to take for lunch - 11/29/17

    I don't make this due to the high calorie count. Also with sodium, there is a very low sodium broth and a sodium free broth on the market for those watching their sodium intake. I am sure it's really good. - 11/28/17

    I made double the amount of filling, so that next time I can just pull the can of filling out of the freezer and add a crust! I left out the butter and onions and added rosemary. Oh, and I used veggie broth instead of chicken broth. It was delicious! - 1/12/17

    I've been doing this for years and it is a real hit. I just use leftover gravy for moisture but will try the broth +/- milk. JPONCIN commented it got too brown on the sides after 40 min. I I cover the sides all the way around with a strip of foil for the first 30 min, then remove it for the last 10 - 11/28/14
