One of the most frugal parts of Thanksgiving is all the leftovers. Turkey is pretty inexpensive right now. So, buy a little extra turkey or a lot extra and enjoy the leftovers. You can make sandwiches, soups, and many other things.
Today I am going to share one of my favorite leftover turkey recipes. I have been making this turkey pie for a long time. It is a great way to use up Thanksgiving leftovers. It is an old Taste of Home recipe. It came from one of their cookbooks from the early 90′s.
We really enjoy this. I hope you do too.
How do you use up your Thanksgiving leftovers?
Turkey Pie
2 unbaked 9 inch pie crusts
1 1/2 cups cold turkey, cut up
1 cup turkey dressing/stuffing
1 1/2 cups turkey gravy (if you do not have enough gravy use some cream mushroom soup)
1 cup celery, cut up ( I leave this out)
2 tablespoons butter
Roll out crust, making two crusts. Place one in a 9 inch pie pan. Combine all ingredients except butter and place into the crust. Dot with butter. Place second crust on top. Seal edges and cut in a few steam vents. Bake at 425 degrees for 30 minutes. Serve and enjoy.

This is wonderful. We liked the crunch the celery added. Now, will you give us your tips on making pie crust? Thanks!
