    Thanksgiving Turkey Pot Pie

    I love Thanksgiving but I think I love the leftovers even more.  There is something comforting about indulging in leftover turkey and dressing.  My goto has always been the tried and true leftover turkey sandwich but you can only live on sandwiches for so long, right?!?  So, I am leaving the bread on the shelf and starting a new Thanksgiving leftover tradition…Leftover Thanksgiving Turkey Pot Pie.

    This recipe is super quick and easy so you can spend those extra special moments with friends and family. Bonus: it’s almost like getting Thanksgiving part deux without all those hours in the kitchen or the mess.
