It’s a great way to turn leftover Thanksgiving turkey into a warm, comfort food meal. If stuffing (dressing) is your favorite part of Thanksgiving, you will love this Thanksgiving-style pot pie. The addition of a buttery pie crust takes the combined flavors of turkey and stuffing over the top.

Turkey Pot pie With Stuffing Topping Recipe Tips

If you don’t have turkey, chicken can be used for this recipe.
I use a refrigerated Pillsbury pie crust for ease and convenience, but you could use a homemade pie crust. I love this Flaky Pie Crust.

This recipe calls for Stovetop stuffing, but you could use any leftover stuffing or dressing. You want about 4 cups.
If using leftover stuffing, be sure it is plenty moist. It will dry out some in the oven.
Two boxes of Stovetop Stuffing is a little much for this pie, but I find 1 box is not enough. With 2 boxes, you will need to pile it pretty high which is totally ok with me since stuffing is practically my favorite thing.
If you really want to use up your Thanksgiving leftovers, try spreading a thin layer of mashed potatoes in the bottom of the pie crust.
The filling can be made a day in advance and then this pot pie is really easy to prep.
Leftovers will keep about 4 days in the refrigerator and can be reheated in the oven or microwave.
