Homecooking with Judy on Youtube provides you with the right recipe for a turkey pot pie that would surely make use of your leftovers and then some.

Ingredients: 

• 2 cups of chopped turkey or chicken.
• 2-3 small chopped yukon potatoes (or red potatoes)
• 3 chopped /diced carrots
• 1 cup sliced mushrooms

• half a cup milk
• 1 1/2 tbsp. melted butter

Directions

Before you begin, make sure to preheat the oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit.

In a skillet, melt butter and olive oil, then add garlic and onion. After a minute, add the carrots, potatoes, mushrooms, and celery and continue to sauté until the onions are tender. Add the flour and mix/scrape the bottom of the pan with a spatula until the flour is lightly browned, then pour in the chicken broth as well as milk.

Using a spatula, stir until the sauce has thickened. Season with salt and pepper to taste, then add the turkey and green peas. Fill a 9×9 casserole dish halfway with the mixture.

Cover with dough and seal around the edges. Bake for about 25 minutes, or until golden brown.
