Turkey Pot Pie

For the first time I have made a pot pie with out buying it from the freezer isle. I did make a lot of changes though. First off I used 1 garlic clove (minced), 1 1/2 stalks of celery (chopped), 1/2 onion (minced). Secondly, they want you to put a lot of parsley in, I am not a huge fan of parsley so I put in only a few pinches. Third, I ran out of oregano so I used 1 tsp of Italian seasoning instead. And fourth, instead of fresh carrots I put in 1 1/2 C. of frozen mixed veggies (carrots, green beans, peas, and corn) at the cool down time. I made it ahead of time and refrigerated until it was time for dinner. I also used Pillsbury pie crust. I like the Pillsbury pie crust, not only is it easy but it does taste good and saves a lot of time. Next time I will add more onion, but did not want to overwhelm the hubby with it and was afraid it would be too much. And I have to play with the seasonings a little more as it was kind of bland. I love how thick it came out, made a very filling meal out of 1 piece. Other then what I have listed I followed the recipes instructions. Please remember when making this you MUST allow the veggie mix to cool before adding it to the crust. The recipe has a big warning about making the crust mushy if you pour it in hot. Enjoy!
