How to Make Chicken or Turkey Pot Pie
Comfort food can be enjoyed even if you want to cook healthier. Phyllo dough makes a fabulously crispy top crust without the fat. Garlic mashed potatoes make a great alternative top “crust.”

Step-By-Step Instructions:
- Preheat oven to 375°F.
- Place 1 tablespoon olive oil in saucepan. Add onion and garlic and cook 2–3 minutes until it begins to soften. Add celery and carrot and cook 5 minutes to soften. Set aside.
- Place 1 tablespoon of olive oil and butter in 4-quart saucepan. Melt butter. Whisk in flour and mix well. (Mixture will be dry.) Gradually add 1 cup stock to saucepan. Cook 2–3 minutes until mixture begins to thicken and takes on a golden color.

- Bake for approximately 25 minutes or until crust is golden and pie is bubbly.

I did make one change: I mixed 1 tsp of Italian spices into the main dish and lightly sprinkled a little more on top of the crust.
