Turkey Pot Pie with calories to spare!


I was just thinking about how much food I have consumed in the last day or so.

I was also just thinking about how a month on Weight Watchers would not hurt one little bit.
Then I clicked on A Box of Chocolates and saw this carnival that Mel is hosting.

So, I am joining in. (Although, I think it is a little more than 5 points. )

And giving you something to do with the turkey leftovers!



Turkey Pot Pie - maybe 6 points.

12 oz. cooked white meat turkey
16 oz frozen mixed veges: carrots, green beans, corn
10 3/4 oz canned cream of fat free cream of Mushroom Soup
1/4 cup canned chicken broth
1/4 tsp. dried thyme
2 rolls of reduced fat crescent roll dough (okay, I know this is what the recipe calls for, but c'mon - I used more which raised the points a bit - and this is why I hate to diet)

Preheat oven to 375
Heat turkey with frozen veges, mushroom soup and broth. Cook over medium heat, stirring frequently, until hot - about 4 minutes. Add thyme.

Spoon mixture into a deep 9 inch pie plate. Cute each crescent roll to form 2 triangles. Arrange triangles over the mixture and bake for about 5 minutes. Reduce oven temp to 325 and bake for 15 more minutes or until rolls are a deep golden brown. Cut into 4 pieces and serve.

Yield 1 3/4-2 cups per serving.

I wish we had leftover turkey! Ryan fried two turkey breasts, and it was super good. But with 18 people, there was only enough left over for two sandwiches! :(

Thanks for the great idea! I'll be making this either tonight or tomorrow. Definitely beats another turkey sandwich!
Unlike Kristin, we barely made a dent in our turkey and I'm looking for creative ways to finish it off. This will be perfect! (and hubby might actually eat some veggies!)

Thanks so much for playing along. I am a huge pot pie fan and can't wait to try this.
