This Turkey Pot Pie Skillet is the perfect recipe for leftover Thanksgiving turkey!
It’s all cooked in a cast iron skillet making cleanup a breeze.
If you don’t have a cast iron skillet it’s ok, just use a regular skillet and pour everything into a baking dish.

Instead of a traditional pie crust I used biscuits, it’s much easier and they cook fast. Using biscuits also helped to reduce the points.
Here’s what you need to make Turkey Pot Pie Skillet:
- Onion
- Garlic
- Butter
- Flour
- Chicken Broth
- Skim milk
- Cooked turkey breast
- Frozen peas and carrots
- Biscuits
- Salt and paper
Most of these ingredients are ones I always have on hand.
To make this easy recipe I started by adding two tablespoons of butter to a 10-inch cast iron skillet over medium heat. Once the butter was melted I added the onion and garlic.
Next I added the peas and carrots and let them cook for two minutes. Then I sprinkled the flour onto the vegetables and stirred it together.
Slowly add in the chicken broth while stirring with a wooden spoon, then stir in the milk.
Turn the heat to medium-high and let the mixture simmer. After a few minutes it should have thickened. That’s when you can stir in the turkey meat.
Shut the heat off and top the pot pie mixture with the biscuits. If you’re using a cast iron skillet you can put the whole thing in the oven and bake for 20 minutes, or until the biscuits are golden brown.
If you don’t have a cast iron skillet you’ll want to add the pot pie mixture to an oven safe dish then top it with biscuits.
You can also use cooked chicken for this recipe if you don’t have turkey. Both are delicious!

November 11, 2021 at 7:13 amSince you are not affiliated with WW , can you please leave the WW older point values on your older recipes . I know that you wont be able to do that on this new plan . Many of us use the : ” I Track Bites ” App, which uses the older WW point calculations . For example : If I know that I have 12 points left for dinner , then I check your site for dishes with appropriate points .
I appreciate all of your hard work .
