Turkey Pot Pie

What a better meal to make with your Thanksgiving or Christmas turkey leftovers than turkey pot pie!
Preheat oven to 425°F
Filling-
    1cup - 1 1/2 cups of gravey
    2 cups turkey (cut into bitsize pieces)
    1 large carrott
    1 cup frozen peas
    1 large potato
In a sauce pan boil the potatos until almost cooked.  Add the carrots and finish cooking. Drain the carrots and potatos and add gravy, turkey and peas to the pan until heated. Add all ingredients into a greased pie pan and cover with crust.  Poke a couple of holes into the crust and bake. 

Crust-
    1/3 cup shortening
    1tsp salt
    1 1/4 flour
    4-6 Tablespoons ice water (the dryer the dough the more you will need)
In a food processor pulse the shortening, salt and flour until it is blended.  Add 4 tablespoons of ice water and pulse.  Add more if needed. 
Form the dough into a ball.  With a rolling pin, roll dough out on a floured surface. 



Recipes on the way!

It has sadly (pathetically on my part) been months since I have added a recipe to my blog.  I have been cooking, not as much as I would like, but I have been doing it as much as I can and writing down the recipes as I go so I can put them on my blog when the time permits.  Hopefully some new recipes will be added today for your enjoyment! :)
