Quickest Ever Turkey Pot Pie

A meat pie is a savory pie that can be filled with pork, beef, lamb, poultry, even fish, plus vegetables spice and herbs. There are many kinds of meat pie, different sizes and different pastry types. They can be made in a pie plate or a square or rectangular baking pan. 


A pot pie is an example of a meat pie, as is a steak and kidney pie and a shepherd’s pie, which is minced or ground beef or lamb with a top “crust” of mashed potatoes. Individual meat pies, which are sealed on all sides, include, among others, empanadas, pasties, Scotch pies and turnovers. Meat pies go back to ancient times; they were a way to pull scraps together for a frugal dinner, while cooks in wealthier households prepared elaborate pastry filled with costly cuts.
