Leftover Turkey Pot Pie

This pot pie really tastes nothing of the Thanksgiving meal, although I assure you you probably have all the makings for it after the main event. I should note also that you really could tuck any number of things into this pie. Have some brussels sprouts that Aunt Judy made? What about those roasted green beans I see way back in the corner of the fridge? Those would do nicely under a buttery blanket. I’ve started with the very basics of a Leftover Turkey Pot Pie, but you should feel free to add to it whatever happens to be lurking in your fridge after the holiday.
