What's for Dinner? One Skillet Turkey Pot Pie

Easy dinners on the brain over here. We've had a lot of events and appointments, on top of our already busy schedule, to keep us extra busy lately. That means Mama's been making a lot of one pan meals and easy casseroles. Not to mention frozen pizza and Taco Bell 12 pack taco box dinners.



This one-skillet dinner starts off on the stovetop and finishes off in the oven with a tater tot topping. The ingredients are short cuts too. I use turkey gravy from the jar, frozen mixed veggies in one of those bags you steam in the microwave, and a topping of tater tots.



Not all jars of gravy are created equally, so make sure to taste your pot pie mixture and add salt and pepper to taste.



If you want a more traditional pot pie you could always use a store bought roll-out pie crust. In that case adjust your oven temp to 375.

  1. This skillet dinner is also an excellent way to use up left over turkey around Thanksgiving time.
