my vegetarian daughter has been asking for a veggie pot pie.
with the leftover turkey from thanksgiving, i thought now is the time!
she had already been drooling over the pioneer woman's chicken pot pie recipe, so i pulled out the cookbook.
i decided to take the pioneer woman's recipe, and have the meat on the side for my husband and me.
it turned out well, i did use my ready made pillsbury crust and added some green beans i had in the fridge. i do think next time i may add a larger variety of vegetables. maybe a potato and some corn or beans to give it a little more vegetarian sustenance. the sauce was amazing.
i just simmered some chicken stock and the chopped turkey in a separate pan and warren and i put it at the bottom of our bowl.
i will say that my daughter is not a "rigid" vegetarian. she doesn't fret about a little chicken broth now and then. i think it's mostly the texture of the meat she doesn't like. but you could always use veggie broth or chicken boullion cubes (which have no chicken in them).
if you haven't bought the pioneer woman's cookbook yet, what are you waiting for?????
it is beautiful and functional :)
and her love story book is coming out in february!
since the recipe is not on her website, i probably shouldn't post it.
just go buy the cookbook already :)
