Steps:

• Preheat an oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C).
• Place the peas and carrots, green beans, and celery into a saucepan; cover with water, bring to a boil, and simmer over medium-low heat until the celery is tender, about 8 minutes. Drain the vegetables in a colander set in the sink, and set aside.
• Melt the butter in a saucepan over medium heat, and cook the onion until translucent, about 5 minutes. Stir in 2/3 cup of flour, salt, black pepper, celery seed, onion powder, and Italian seasoning; slowly whisk in the chicken broth and milk until the mixture comes to a simmer and thickens. Remove from heat; stir the cooked vegetables and turkey meat into the filling until well combined.
• Fit 2 pie crusts into the bottom of 2 9-inch pie dishes. Spoon half the filling into each pie crust, then top each pie with another crust. Pinch and roll the top and bottom crusts together at the edge of each pie to seal, and cut several small slits into the top of the pies with a sharp knife to release steam.
• Bake in the preheated oven until the crusts are golden brown and the filling is bubbly, 30 to 35 minutes. If the crusts are browning too quickly, cover the pies with aluminum foil after about 15 minutes. Cool for 10 minutes before serving.

LEFTOVER TURKEY AND LEEK POT PIE WITH INSTANT GRAVY

Steps:

• Preheat your oven to 190°C/375°F/gas 5. You will need a deep baking dish roughly 26cm x 20cm, I use an enamelled dish as Jamie does, it conducts the heat perfectly.
• Put your lardons or ham in a large sauce pan (that has a lid) over a medium heat and add your thyme leaves. Add a glug of olive oil and the butter and let it all fry off a few minutes. Add all of your prepared leeks and fry them off for about 3 minutes so they are well-coated in the butter. Add a pinch of sea salt and freshly ground black pepper then pop the lid on, turn the heat down to low to medium and let them cook away gently for 30 minutes, stirring every 5 to 10 minutes to make sure they don't catch.
• When your leeks are ready, add the turkey meat and stir. Add your stuffing mix now if you have any, then add the flour, mix it in well and then pour in your stock and stir again. Add the crème fraîche then turn the heat up and bring everything back up to the boil. Have a taste and add a bit more sea salt and freshly ground black pepper if it needs it, then turn the heat off.
• Pour the mixture through a sieve over another large empty pan and let the wonderful gravy from the mixture drip into the pan while you roll out your pastry.
• Dust a clean surface and a rolling pin with a bit of flour and roll your pastry to the size of your dish.
• (Optional Chestnut and Sage Version. Roll the pastry out so it's about double the size of your dish, then crumble the chestnuts over one half of the pastry then tear a few of the sage leaves over the chestnuts. Fold the other half of pastry on top then roll it out carefully and evenly so you have a rectangle big enough to cover your baking tray. Don't worry if a few bits stick out here and there.).
• Spoon that thick leek and turkey mixture from your sieve into the pie dish and spread it out evenly. Lay your pastry on top, tuck the ends under then gently score the pastry diagonally with your knife. Add a pinch of salt to your beaten egg then paint this egg wash over the top of your pastry. Pop your pie in the oven for about 35 to 40 minutes or until the pastry is puffed up and golden brown.
• When the pie is ready, re-heat the lovely gravy and serve with your pie, along with mashed potatoes and seasonal greens.

LEFTOVER BEEF POT PIE

Steps:

• 1. fit first crust into a casserole dish. Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Mix the Italian Seasoning package into one of the cans of gravy. In a mixing bowl, combine all of the ingredients except for the cheese. Mix well...Pour into the pie crust. Sprinkle the cheese over the entire top. Top the the second pie crust and poke holes with a fork a couple of times for steam to escape. Place in oven and cook for about 30 minutes or until crust is brown. I usually baste the top with butter when it just begins to brown. It will give it a nice golden color. If I have leftover potatoes and carrots in my roast, I toss them in there too.
• 2. This is another idea that I use. When I make beef stew, if I have leftovers, I add a Tablespoon of flour to the beef stew and put it into a crust and top with cheddar cheese. That's all I do to it, because the gravy and vegetables are already in it...
• 3. You can make a Tuna pot pie by draining a large can of Albacore tuna and flaking it. Add 3 cans of cream of mushroom soup and two cans of well drained Veg-All and top with grated Parmesan cheese.

• 2. Put some oil in a dutch oven or stock pot over medium heat. If you are NOT using leftover meat, this is the time you would brown your meat and then remove them to cook the vegetables. You would need to add more oil to cook your vegetables. If you ARE using leftover meat, use low-med heat add onions and saute them until they are soft and translucent. Add the garlic and saute for about 2 minutes longer. You may need to lower heat when you add garlic so it doesn't burn. It will depend on your stove.
• 3. Add celery and mushrooms to the pot and continue to saute for 2 more minutes.
• 4. Add Rosemary, Thyme, and tomato paste and stir. Add some salt and pepper to the vegetable mixture. Stir and cook about 30 more seconds.

• 7. Depending if you are using fresh meat or leftovers, add potatoes after the above time of simmering. Continue to cover and simmer on low until potatoes can be penetrated by a fork easily. Depending on how big your chunks are could be 15-30 minutes. Check often.
• 8. Add the flour (be sure to dilute it first in water) to the stew/broth. Add the frozen vegetables and turn off the burner. Stir and taste to see if you need to add any more salt or pepper or water.
• 9. Once you like the consistency and taste, cover the pot and begin to prepare your ramekins. Preheat over to 400. Roll out puff pastry and cut out the dough to fit over the ramekin. Be sure to leave enough so you can press it down into the ramekin to meet the stew/broth and enough to press on to the ramekin's edge. Once you have cut out the tops get a ladle and stir the pot. Yes this time stirring the pot is ok lol. And begin to transfer the stew/broth into the ramekins filling it close to the top.
• 10. Place puff pastry dough on top of each ramekin and carefully pressing it down to meet the stew. Pinch it to the sides of the ramekin to prevent shrinking.

CHEERFUL'S EASY LEFTOVER FRIED CHICKEN POT PIE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to biscuit cooking temperature Mine was 350 degrees.
• Heat butter in pretty large skillet on med temperature.
• Add chopped celery, french fries, carrots, and sweet peas.
• Saute until tender the potatos will be soft but that is ok, trust me.
• Add chicken and saute until heated through, I added more butter here -- that is a personal taste. You don't need to.
• At this point your oven should be ready to cook your biscuits so go ahead and cook those to ALMOST done -- explained later.
• Transfer the sauted mixture to a seperate bowl
• Add gravy and chicken soup to your hot skillet and heat till warm.
• now add your cream -- this is to taste. I like it really creamy and you need to make sure you have enough cream sauce -- so its up to you.
• Add some pepper and the thyme now and pour saute mixture back into your skillet.

• Now, cover the top with biscuits and put in the oven. Heat until bubbly.
• I would guess it took about 7 or 8 minutes in the oven -- this is the reason the biscuits are not fully cooked already. But, soggy biscuits are gross so you want to make sure they are mostly done -- mine where barely golden on the egdges when I put them on the top of the pie and baked it. By the time the dish was bubbly the biscuits were golden and perfect.
• NOTE: the baking time is approximately it made me put something there and that is a total time for pre-baking your biscuits before you put them on the pie and finish the baking. Your cooking time may be different.
