The weather has been surprisingly cold for this Los Angeles resident. I have been craving a crusty, creamy pot pie but frankly was too lethargic to prepare the many steps of this classic American recipe. When I couldn’t find a restaurant serving it for carryout, I decided to streamline the stages of my older recipe. I also wanted to develop it for turkey or chicken.
I happened to have had a cooked turkey breast in my fridge and puff pastry in my freezer. From there, it was just figuring out how to skip unnecessary steps from my earlier recipe.
