Instead of the water and buillon, I added a can of chicken broth and mushroom gravy. I also added peas and corn. This came out AMAZING! I've made it several times and have received rave reviews.

I don't have ten a inch pie pan, so I wound up getting two pies out of this recipe. I had to make some extra pie crust, but, hey, I got two pies for the price of one! I gave the extra pie to a neighbor. I added some oregano to my pie crust recipe, just to make it look pretty, and it did. I also used ground turkey. The only problem that I had with this recipe is that there really wasn't any sauce. Maybe that's because there's a bottom crust, and it would get soggy? I'm not sure. But, most pot pies that I've seen have sauce, usually a white, creamy sauce. Even the pot pie that's typically served around here (we have a lot of PA Dutch cooking in my area) has a thick, broth based sauce. I would a call it a Turkey Pie rather than a Turkey Pot Pie. Still, this was very good and had excellent flavor.

Hands down, the best pot pie Ive ever made, or eaten! Pie was perfect consistency and the flavor was perfect. I also used premade Pilsbury 9 inch pie crusts and they worked great. Be sure to brush the top with egg before baking, it puts a perfect brown on the top and looks fantastic.

I used leftover chicken from a beer can grilled/smoked bird which was very flavorful, frozen mixed veggies, and added mushrooms. Pre-baked deep dish bottom crust and used rolled crust for the top. Very good.

I was EXTREMELY unhappy with this recipe. Not because of the taste because although a little bland the filling tasted fine and would have probably gotten a 4 star rating on its own, however this made so much filling I didn't have enough pie crusts so I put it in the fridge for a day and a half and when I took it out to use it, it had a gross sour taste to it like it had gone bad. I wanted to make a bunch of pies and freeze them but instead ALL of it was wasted and I was so disappointed. I won't make it again if it goes bad that quickly.

The best I've ever tasted. I used chicken instead and only 1 pie crust on top. Definitely a keeper.

I made this with a butter pie crust recipe. I was so close to using cream of mushroom but DO NOT do this! Instead of milk I used 1/3 cu. of half & half - it turned out awesome. I didn't have potatoes or celery either... I just added one sweet onion, corn, peas and carrots and seasoned with celery seed. Great basic recipe! I will definitely make this again next winter :-)

If I could I would give this more than 5*. This was the best thing I have ever made. Everyone in my family loved it. It was much easier than I thought it would be to make. I used chopped chicken tenders because no place where I lived had turkey, even still it was WONDERFUL! Update: this time I added broccoli in with the potatoes and used shredded carrots. I now use thyme instead of oregano. I cut way back on the herbs because of my families tastes. I use a tablespoon each of parsley and thyme. I also bake it in my largest pan and put both pie crusts on top.

Bottom line up front: This was very, VERY good. I will definitely make this again, even though it does take some time and effort to put together. I followed some of the advice I found in other reviews: I doubled the flour, butter and milk to avoid dryness; I decreased the amount of oregano by about half and added about half a teaspoon each of rosemary, sage and thyme (all dried); I added frozen peas (peas are a MUST in a pot pie, if you ask me); I decreased the potatoes by about half; and I used a puff pastry top crust and no bottom crust because I don't generally like a bottom crust anyway. Having never worked with puff pastry before, I had to ask around to find out how much to thaw from the frozen package. It turns out that one "standard" size sheet of puff pastry will pretty much cover a 13X9 casserole dish, with just a little bit of rolling or creative cutting/stretching. I placed the pastry directly on the topping with no pre-baking, and I baked it for about 30 minutes at 400. I did make one mistake with the puff pastry: I tried to get fancy with cut-out shapes instead of just cutting some slits in the sheet. I used a rolling cookie cutter and then placed the shapes on top of the filling, thinking it would look pretty when it was done. I didn't realize that the cookie cutter I used was way too detailed and we wouldn't be able to tell what the shapes were supposed to be by the time it was cooked! Tasted GREAT, but next time I'll do a lattice!

My husband & 14 year old son go crazy for t his recipe! I'm lucky to get a full serving! Have made this a few times. I freeze leftover turkey, 2 cups per bag, just for this recipe. We do like a little more saue so I add either some turkey gravy or a bit of cream of chicken soup & a touch of poultry seasoning. Pre-baking the bottom crust for 5 minutes or so is also something I recommend. Ultimate comfort food.

This recipe is perfect. I did the filling exactly as said. It's like your classic pot pie comfort food. I put dumplings on mine instead of the pie crust. So good!
