I can’t think of a better way to use leftover turkey than to wrap it up in a flakey cheesy crust! These turkey pot pie pockets are super easy to make and are a great way serve leftover turkey (or chicken or any other leftover meat you want to jazz up) that your family will love. What amazes me about this recipe (besides this EPIC CRUST) is how far 2 carrots, 1 potato, and a couple handfuls of turkey stretches! With just a few bucks and about 30 minutes, you can make homemade hot pockets that will be an instant favorite of your family’s.

Ingredients
Servings: Pot Pie Pockets
|
- Grate cheese using large holes and peel garlic.
- Put half of the water, the garlic, and the butter in Vitamix or food processor. Process until smooth.
- Add cheese and pulse a few times
- Remove cheese mixture to a bowl, use fork to cut in flour. Add remaining water and egg white. Use hands to mix well. Your dough should feel like play dough. Add more flour or water to make it soft and easy to work with BUT NOT STICKY. Roll dough into ball and refrigerate while you make the pot pie filling

- Add goat cheese & Monterey Jack cheeses. Stir to mix and melt cheeses.
- Stir to mix and melt cheeses. The butter and juices cooked from the meat mixture should mix with th cheeses to make a nice sauce. Not to runny and not too thick. If you feel like you want it a little more saucey- add 2 tablespoons of milk.
- Cut dough ball into equal parts apx 1 inch wide. I like a thicker crust so I made only 5 pies. This dough could easily make 6 pies if you rolled the dough a bit thinner.
- Fold a big piece of parchment paper in half, roll cut off dough into a ball, and roll dough into an oblong circle
- Put a heaping half cup of the pot pie mixture in the center of the rolled out dough
- Use parchment paper to fold dough in half & gently peal parchment paper away from pie pocket.
- Use your hands to fold edges of dough up in apx 1 inch sections. Use wet fingers to pinch close any holes in crust to keep all the yummy stuff inside our pocket.
- Place your pie pockets on a parchment lined cookie sheet about 3 inches apart.
- Brush the pie pockets with beaten egg white

You can make these any shape you want and use whatever method you like to crimp the edges. I like to make them look like pies so I finished them like a traditional pie- folding crust from the bottom up and crimping /pinching dough to make a nice thick crust. Place your pie pockets on a parchment lined cookie sheet about 3 inches apart.
If you want, you can brush the pie pockets with beaten egg white to make these bad boys really pretty!
Bake 15 to 20 minutes or until they are just starting to brown on the edges.
Serve hot and enjoy!
