After Thanksgiving or Christmas, when the sides and desserts are long gone, but you're still left with a mountain of turkey meat, what do you do? Jazz it up into something completely different! This recipe is easy and quick but full of flavor. If you can't eat 2 pies quickly enough, you can freeze half the filling for another night. Even easier!

Blue Ribbon Recipe

Inevitably there are always turkey leftovers after a holiday meal. Turn them into an enchilada pot pie! The turkey is tender and soaks up the enchilada sauce flavors. Chili powder gives the pot pie an extra kick of spice. Corn adds a pop of sweetness.
