- We have all faced the dilemma of what to do with leftover turkey after a holiday celebration.
- You can make individual or full-size pies to bake and serve or to freeze.
- If you aren’t able to make pies with the leftovers at the time, freeze cubed turkey in two cup portions to use for pie at a later date.
- Adjust the recipe to the amount of turkey you have available.
- When you want to use a frozen pie, thaw it in the fridge overnight and pop in the oven for 30 minutes at 325 the next day.
- These pies come in super handy on busy days and for lunches.
- Add a side salad, and your meal is complete.
