What Makes This French Turkey Pot Pie Special?

Unlike traditional pot pies, this version gets a French flair from fresh herbs, Dijon mustard, and a splash of cream, delivering a creamy yet nuanced filling. The combination of tender turkey and vibrant vegetables creates a beautiful contrast, while the flaky crust offers a delightful crunch. This is a dish that elevates leftovers and transforms them into a stunning centerpiece, guaranteed to have everyone asking for seconds.

Preparing the Creamy French-Inspired Filling

Begin by sautéing onions, celery, carrots, and garlic in a quality SENSARTE Nonstick Frying Pan Skillet, 9.5 Inch for effortless release and even browning. Add cooked turkey breast, fresh thyme, and a hint of white wine to create depth of flavor. For fast and uniform veggie prep, reach for a Mueller Pro-Series 10-in-1, 8 Blade Vegetable Chopper—it’ll save time and ensure all your pieces cook evenly.

Mix in Dijon mustard and cream to create the signature French sauce. Add peas and a handful of chopped parsley for color and freshness. Simmer until everything is tender and the sauce has thickened beautifully.

Assembling Your Turkey Pot Pie

Line your pie dish with pastry, pour in your savory filling, and top with another layer of pastry, sealing the edges for a golden, crisp finish. Use a sharp knife or KitchenAid All Purpose Kitchen Shears with Protective Sheath, Black to trim the dough for neat edges.

Bake on a sheet of Reynolds Kitchens Brown Parchment Paper Roll, 45 Square Feet to keep the oven spotless and to prevent sticking—this ensures your pot pie lifts out easily and looks picture-perfect on the plate.
