Pot Pie is traditionally a savory meat pie with a flaky pie crust topping. It can be made with a variety of fillings including poultry, beef, and pork. I love to use chicken, however, turkey works great in this recipe as well.

You'll find all the flavors of pot pie in this recipe, but it can be made in just 30 minutes. Therefore, dinner is done and on the table quickly with the extra bonus of having a low carb count.
