Turkey pot pie is a staple leftovers dish that many fear they can never again enjoy living a gluten free lifestyle. Several gluten free flours are available that work great for a pie crust. It's easy to make, though joining a top and bottom crust can be a challenge. Don't worry about joining the crusts. Enjoy the meal. Turkey pot pie can also be made from frozen leftovers, for a good early spring, or late fall meal. Or a great way to clean out the extra vegetables in the fridge after a long day. Frozen ones are available, as well.
