Gluten Free Turkey Pot Pie Recipe--A Tasty Gluten Free Meal

This turkey pot pie recipe can be made using cooked white or dark meat, whichever you prefer. A gluten free pot pie makes a great meal for a family. Leftovers will last 2-3 days, and give you some gluten free meals for those times you need them.

Filling:

3 carrots diced

3 stalks celery, chopped

1 medium onion, diced

5 potatoes, peeled and cut into 1/2"chunks

1/2 cup frozen peas

2 2/3 cups chunked (1 inch or less) cooked turkey meat

1 teaspoon dried thyme or 1/4 tsp ground thyme

1 1/2 teaspoons dried oregano

4 Tablespoons dried parsely

3/4 tsp salt

1/4 tsp black pepper

3 cups chicken broth

3 cups water

1/4 cup plus 3 Tablespoons cooking oil

1/3 cup sweet rice flour or potato flour

1 cup milk or milk substitute

Crust:

1 1/4 cups gluten free flour (I like my Kathy's Blend)

1/2 tsp salt

1 Tablespoon sugar

2 tsp baking powder

2/3 to 1 cup milk or milk substitute


If you prefer, you can use a gluten free pie crust recipe, but this cobbler type topping is easier and faster.

Directions


In a large skillet or dutch oven, heat 3 tablespoons oil and add the onions, carrots, parsley, oregano, thyme, salt, pepper and then celery. Allow to cook until vegetables are softened.

Add chicken broth and water and bring to a boil. Allow it to simmer about 2 minutes, then add the potatoes and cook until the potatoes are tender.

In another saucepan, mix the 1/3 cup flour and 1/4 cup oil until blended, and bring to simmer. Brown for about 2 minutes and then add the milk or milk substitute to make a white sauce.

When the mixture is almost thickened, add the turkey meat or chicken meat.When it returns to a simmer, pour this mixture into the vegetable mixture and stir it to blend well. Taste the mixture to adjust the salt and pepper to personal taste. When all is thickened, pour it into a greased 9x13 pan. (Glass is best if you have one available.)

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees while preparing the crust. When the crust is ready, pour it over top of filling, leaving 1/2 inch space all around edges of the pan. Even out the topping with a spatula. Place it into the preheated oven and bake for 45-60 minutes, until crust is lightly browned.

This tasty gluten free pot pie recipe is one of our family favorites. I hope it will become one of the favorites in your family as well. If you don't have chicken broth, you can use some chicken boullion, but you might have to adjust the amount of salt you add.
