Pie is something I can bake pretty well, at this point. It is easy enough for me to throw one together if I need to bring something to a dinner, and they give my apartment such a delightful aroma that I'll use any excuse to put one in the oven.
In this case, I used leftover turkey, and veggies from my CSA box (community supported agriculture) to bake a turkey pot pie. I've already talked about pie crust, and pie filling is more about what you like than anything else, but one key ingredient to a turkey or chicken pot pie made in my family is that it must have hard-boiled egg in it. I don't know how or where this started, but if you haven't tried it--you should. Hard boil two or three eggs, coarsely chop them, and add to your pie filling.
In addition, I had: celery, parsnip, turnip, potato, onion, carrot, and cauliflower. If I could go back in time and do it all over, I would love to put sweet potato in the pie, but I am extremely partial to sweet potatoes and pretty much all other root vegetables right now. Add a delicious turkey gravy, salt & pepper, and anything else you wish (celery salt? roasted garlic?), bake for about 40 minutes (until the crust is golden brown and your kitchen smells divine), and enjoy!
