I made two Turkey Pot Pies tonight from a Taste of Home Comfort Food diet Cookbook. Actually, I found the recipe titled 'easy chicken pot pie'. I decided to use turkey in place of chicken. This recipe is certainly very easy. To prepare the turkey, I cooked 4 turkey breast cutlets in onion powder, garlic & herb seasonings, salt & black pepper seasoned boiling water then diced into small cubes. I made a couple modifications to the recipe simply because I wanted to use what I had. You might like to try the original recipe on page 208. (image of cookbook cover at bottom of post) Below is how I put mine together and they came out perfectly delicious.
For pot pie filling, mix:
1 c. cream of mushroom
1 c. cream of chicken
1 c. peas and carrots, drained
1/2 c. milk
2 turkey breast cutlets or 2 chicken breasts, diced
1/4 tsp. of black pepper
1/4 tsp. of black pepper
salt to taste
*spray cooking spray in pie plate and fill with mixture
Topping:
1 1/2 c. baking mix (I used Jiffy)
2/3 c. milk
*drop by tablespoon full over the top of the turkey pot pie filling
Bake:
375 degrees / 30-40 minutes
(I lined aluminum foil under the pies in case any liquid bubbed over. It didn't.)
My family enjoys the pot pies that I make with double layer crusts. I like those too. But, I can tell you this recipe is so easy and delicious. I simply doubled the recipe above to make these two pies. When I took the hot pot pies out of the oven, I had to take a quick snap because Terry was waiting in the wings with saucer and fork in hand. On my, 'go', he dished up a nice serving of Turkey Pot Pie to enjoy while he watched his ESPN on this, relax away Saturday. 
Kayla and Trevor came home from dinner and a movie and stopped for a tasty taste. After I told them that it was a diet recipe, Trevor went back for another taste!
If you try the recipe, write back and let me know if you like it too. This was my first recipe that I tried from my new Taste of Home Cookbook. I'm anxious to test more. I'll let you know when I do.
