Welcome to this week’s Publix Super Meals. Each week I am going to share a recipe to help you take the Publix Super Deals and turn them into Publix Super Meals!

Since most of us will be busy gobbling some turkey on Thursday, I thought I would share the Publix Super Meal a little early this week. This one might just come in handy for your Thanksgiving leftovers – Turkey Pot Pie!

This recipe is great because you can prep this one ahead of time and then bake it up once you are ready to eat. I do this recipe with chicken or turkey and it comes out delicious with either. The pie I made this week used a combination of leftover roasted turkey and one that was filled with cajun butter using the Good Cook Flavor Injector and then smoked.

Yes I have already cooked two turkeys and it’s not even Thanksgiving yet. This year I wanted to try brining and roasting a turkey. I was a bit afraid of how it would taste so my husband threw another bird on the Big Green Egg just to be safe. Let me tell you guys…that brined bird was really fantastic. I used a basic brine of salt and sugar and then let the turkey sit in the Brine Bag overnight. Then I filled the cavity with some aromatics and tossed it in a Roaster with a V-Rack and let it go in the oven. It was super juicy and a big hit with my family.

Since I has two birds I had plenty of meat leftover for this pot pie. You could also toss in any leftover deviled eggs, green beans and even use a pre-made crust if you don’t feel like making your own. This is one of my favorite ways to put those leftovers to use.
