We love pot pie here at The Orange bee. My homemade is our all-time favorite. It’s reminiscent of childhood Sunday evening meals, with a pot pie hot from the oven, in it’s tiny little cardboard cup with Ed Sullivan, black and white on the television set. Once I decided to make these from scratch they became a staple on the menu. As soon as the weather turns cool I start craving these little cups of hearty deliciousness. While deciding how to use that left-over Thanksgiving turkey, pot pie seemed the dish to make.
It was one of those days where I didn’t want to leave the house so I began to see what I had to work with. I had one frozen pie crust, a bag of organic veggies from Trader Joe’s and the left over turkey. Hmmm…one pie crust won’t make one big double crust pot pie, and it must have a double crust. You know, to hold all that sauce. Ha! I remembered I had these fun ramekins that hold about 2 cups each. Individual turkey pot pie it would be. One for him and one for me. For you empty nesters, refrigerate the other two and you’ll have a hearty lunch for later in the week.
I love the way they looked and they filled the bill on that chilly, wintry night. Creamy sauce, good for you veggies, moist turkey chunks and a double crust! I sort of wing it when I make pot pies but you’ll find my recipe below that will make you some lip-smacking pot pies. Add a salad made with mixed greens and some chopped up apple or pear, a handful of toasted pecans and you have dinner. Easy peasy! My husband hates peas…but he’ll eat them in these tasty little pies.
