Carbs in Classic Pot Pie
A normal chicken pot pie or turkey pot pie is often made with all purpose flour which is high in carbs and not gluten free.
According to the app I use called Cronometer, a classic dish serving of 8 ounces of pot pie has a single crust and 28.4 grams of carbs which is very high for anyone following a keto diet.

I adapted this recipe from one I made years ago that was gluten free, but not low carb.
The creamy filling was easily adapted without potatoes and the biscuits were delicious, but not low carb. Feel free if you're not low carb to check out my first Turkey or Chicken Pot Pie recipe.
I'd serve this pot pie with a side of my delicious creamy green beans!

Directions for Filling of Keto Pot Pie Recipe
Place celery, carrots and broth in a large pot and bring to a boil. Cover and simmer until tender, about 10 minutes.
Place oil and onion into a large skillet and cook over medium heat until onion is tender, 4-5 minutes.
Sprinkle coconut flour over the onion then add in the heavy cream. Stir together until mixed. Add in the broth, carrots and celery into the skillet.
Sprinkle xanthan gum over the vegetables and broth in the skillet. Bring to a boil, reduce to medium low and continue to stir until mixture starts to thicken, about 10 minutes.
Once thickened, turn off heat and add in turkey and Italian seasoning, taste and adjust salt and pepper if needed.
Pour into a 9 by 13 baking casserole dish. Preheat oven to 375 degrees while you make the biscuits.
Keto Drop Biscuits
In a large bowl whisk flour and dry seasonings together.
Stir in the melted butter until combined, work out clumps.
Stir in eggs, fresh herbs and cheese. Make large 6 free form mounds and drop on top of the filling of the pot pie.
Bake 20-25 minutes or until biscuits are golden brown.
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 leftover turkey 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 or an airtight container 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!
Honestly I think it's even better the next day!
It's simple, it's nutritious, it's comforting and it uses leftovers! How could you not love a recipe like that?
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 leftover chicken breasts and it's just as good!
