Lazy Turkey Pot Pie
by Jane Collinge Mack

There is a lazy side of me who wants good food without the work. Today, I was particularly lazy and did not want to cook, but wanted a hot meal. So, I thought I’d just have leftovers, but I knew there would be a mutiny at our dinner table if I served one more meal of leftovers.  So I came up with a compromise using leftovers and canned and frozen veggies.

Turkey Pot Pie

• 1 can of cream or chicken or mushroom soup
• 1 cup of milk
• ½ stick of butter
• 2 large carrots sliced or 2 cups of frozen sliced carrots which is even lazier  :o)
• 2 cans of sliced potatoes
• ½ breast of cooked turkey breast
• 1 cup frozen peas
• 2 cans of large biscuits
• 9 x 12 covered baking dish

This dish will be prepared in a layering process.

• Place the two cans of potatoes in the 9 x 12 baking dish displayed evenly across
  The bottom of 9 x 12 baking pan.
• Open  the can of soup, and using a butter knife, spread  the undiluted soup across the potatoes as evenly as possible.
• I could not find frozen carrots in my freezer so I grabbed two carrots and sliced them
  thinly.  Place the carrots across the 9 x 12 baking dish as the next layer.
• Slice and then dice the turkey in 1 inch cubes and even place the turkey across the 9 x 12 baking dish as the next layer..
• Sprinkle the 1 cup of frozen peas across the 9 x 12 baking dish
• Slice the ½ stick of butter and placed them across the 9 x 12 baking dish.
• Add the 1 cup of milk evenly across the 9 x 12 baking dish

Your dish should look something like this: 

Bake this 9 x 12 pan with a covered dish for 45 minutes at 325 degrees.

After 45 minutes, uncover the dish and evenly place the biscuits across the pan.
 
Bake for another 10 minutes at 400 degrees or until biscuits are golden brown and ready to serve.
