FAQs
Can I make this with a bottom crust?
Yes you can make this with a keto pie crust, just use a 9 or 10 inch pie plate or cast-iron skillet and pre-bake the pie crust before adding filling.
How to Store
Cover the pot pie with aluminum foil or plastic wrap and place in the fridge for up to 3 days.
How to Reheat
for best results, reheat the pot pie covered, in a preheated 350 degree oven for 30 minutes. You can also microwave individual pieces in a microwave-safe bowl for a minute but it's better using the oven.
How to Freeze
Bake, cool and cover with plastic wrap then aluminum foil and freeze for up to two months.
Anyway, regardless if you're low carb or not, this recipe is delicious and a great way to use up leftover turkey or chicken.
Adding in a few simple ingredients and pantry items you most likely have in your kitchen, nothing fancy here folks, and you've got a winning recipe the whole family will devour!

Unless of course you're not eating turkey on Thanksgiving? Well, then try it with ham? Ham pot pie? Maybe? Maybe not. I'm not quite sold on that, but I have made with with leftover chicken breast and it's just as good!
