"This is a different version of a recipe I already have posted. This makes two 9-inch delicious pot pies, you can freeze one or serve the two for dinner! You can also make these using leftover cooked turkey in place of chicken, both are great, also you can use all frozen veggies I prefer the large diced so I use fresh also I have listed canned mushrooms for ease, you can use fresh sliced sauteed if you want. Use only potatoes that have been oven baked or microwave cooked, do not boil them! There are a few steps that you can do a day ahead to save some time. Prep times does not include making the pie pastry. Cooking time stated is for prepared pot pies only."
