Easy Comfort Meals



Just remember this can be very easy using leftovers, pre-cooked frozen chicken or turkey, frozen mixed vegetables, a bottle of jarred gravy, and store-bought pie crust, so don't make it complicated.

This recipe is designed to use leftover turkey from Thanksgiving or other holidays, and even rotisserie leftover chicken, but the best part of making a pot pie is that you can use any kind of meat.

Change the gravy to beef or pork and make it with whatever you have easy easy-peasy meals.
