Turkey And Leek Pie

Turkey and leek pie is a simple and quick recipe for using up any leftover turkey from the festive period. It's a delicious low cost family meal that only requires a few ingredients.

Well this is a first folks isn't it? A pie recipe on the blog?

It's true it is a first here and that's not because I don't like a good pie it's just I don't make them very often other than this time of year!

Turkey and leek pie is what I make to use up any leftover turkey from Christmas.

And steak pie is what I make on New Years day, because that's a tradition!

I've tweaked my turkey and leek pie recipe here though so that you can also make it at any time of the year using diced turkey breasts.

Otherwise this is a great way to use up any leftover Christmas turkey you have!

We all know that turkey can often be a fairly dry meat don't we?

So for the sauce I use a tin of condensed soup.

You could make a white sauce though, like the one in my low-cost healthy lasagne recipe. Just don't add the cheese.

I'm even lazy when it comes to the pastry, because that's a shop bought reduced fat puff pastry rather than one you'd have to spend ages in the kitchen making!

If you're anything like me at this time of year, as much as you love cooking, you've probably pretty much had your fill.

Using the ingredients I've used below you'll be able to get this turkey and leek pie on the table for your family in less than an hour with minimal effort involved!
