Ingredients
  

Pie Crust:

  • 3 cups organic unbleached all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup butter cold
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup cold water

Filling:

  • 1 large sweet potato
  • Oil spray for sweet potatoes
  • 2 cups leftover stuffing see notes
  • 2 - 2 ½ pounds leftover turkey about 4 cups diced or shredded
  • 3 - 4 carrots
  • 1 - 2 cups cranberry sauce optional
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Egg Wash:

  • 1 large egg
  • 1 tablespoon water
  • Leftover gravy for serving

Instructions
 

  • Pre-heat oven to 375°F.
  • Break butter in to small pieces and add to flour and salt together, mixing with hands, slowly adding the water until the dough comes together in a firm but supple dough ball.
  • Cover and set aside to hydrate.
  • Cut carrots in thin slices and set aside.
  • Peel and dice sweet potatoes into ½-inch cubes. Place on a cooking sheet and sprinkle/spray with olive oil and a dash of salt and cook in oven/toaster oven for 15-20 minutes at 375°F until soft. (You can cook your carrots here as well if you prefer a softer carrot in your pie as they will have a slight crunch if you do not.)
  • Soak seasoned croutons or stuffing if using from a premade box. If you already have stuffing leftovers, you can skip this step.
  • Dice or shred turkey if you haven't already; set aside.
  • On floured cutting board, place your dough ball and cut one third off and set aside. With remaining ⅔rds, roll out dough in to a rough round shape until slightly larger than your large pie plate. Place into a greased pie plate and fit it to the ridges of the plate if it has some. Cut off any excess and add it to the remaining ⅓ dough and set aside.
  • Start to layer your ingredients into the pie: turkey, stuffing, carrots, potatoes, cranberry sauce, sweet potatoes.
  • Now roll out the remaining dough for the lid of the pie. Place on top of the ingredients and pinch together with the dough edges. Cut 4-6 slits into top for venting.
  • If you are adding an egg glaze, beat egg well with water and brush overtop the dough lid.
  • Add pie to the center of the preheated oven and bake until the crust starts to lightly brown on the edges, for about 40 minutes.
  • When crust is lightly browned take out of oven and let rest for 5-10 minutes before serving.

Notes

  • Serve with extra cranberry sauce or gravy if desired.
  • This is a great way to just leave bits and pieces of turkey out for! When carving your turkey, any odd bits that you pull of the bone can be set aside for this. It will also ensure you have the leftovers you want for this!
  • Use leftover (cooked) stuffing or you can also use homemade croutons or even a box mix. If using dry mix or croutons, soak in warm tap water for 10 minutes or so before using.
