    Turkey and leek pie with a quarter portion taken out. Pin title text overlay at top.

    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!

     Turkey and Leek Pie Recipe

    If you have lots of turkey leftover you can just make the filling and freeze it to make another pie in the future!

    Although I use leeks in my leftover turkey and leek pie you could add whatever you have that needs to be used up.

    Why not make this pie recipe your own by changing up the proportions and adding more vegetables and less meat? The choice is yours!

      Soup for all! Happy Christmas, Neil! I love your tree, btw. So festive. We are lucky to have our tree up at all, and the fact that we would have to go upstairs to put it back away means that it will likely stay out for a few months. Have an awesome trip, and I can't wait for the recap! Happy New Years, my friend!

        Hey Susie, Happy Christmas to you too!

        Glad you like the tree. There's a certain little furry friend who has been climbing in it and nearly knocking it over!!

        Have a fantastic New Year when it comes too! 🙂

      Happy Christmas! That's a gorgeous looking pie. I haven't had something like this in quite some time, and I think I should do something about that.

        Happy Christmas Jeff. Sorry for the delay in replying, we've been away celebrating for the New Year break we get here in Scotland.

        Thanks for your comments about my pie. Hope you get a chance to make it sometime. Let me know how you get on! 🙂

      This looks so comforting and the tree is beautiful! I love putting mine up, but taking it down is a whole other thing. I'm thinking about hiring someone to do it for me. Happy New Year!

        Hey Megan. Thanks for your kind comments about my pie and Lynne's mum's tree, she'll appreciate that when I tell her.

        But yeah, taking the tree down is a real hassle isn't it? Beautiful when up though. You just don't think of having to dismantle the thing at the time! 😀
