CAN I USE LEFTOVER PIE CRUST?
If you’ve already made pie crust for, well, pies, and you have some leftover, you can use it here. But I’m also all about store-bought pie crust in this case. You’ve been cooking a lot and it’s fine to take a shortcut on this one!
WHAT KIND OF BAKEWARE DO I NEED FOR THESE PIES?
I make these turkey pot pies in ramekins. Round 8-ounce ramekins will give you a good kid-sized pot pie and an 18-ounce ramekin is good for adult portions.
CAN I MAKE THESE POT PIES IN ADVANCE?
You can absolutely make these in advance if that works better for your schedule. I would prep them completely up to the final baking step. They will keep great in the fridge, ready to go, for a few days.
Leftover pot pie will also keep well in the fridge for up to five days. Reheat them in a 350°F oven until warmed through and piping hot.
