How To Make Cast Iron Skillet Cajun Chicken Thighs

Recipe Summary Grandma's Leftover Turkey Pot Pie

Easy recipe for a warm winter meal. This recipe makes enough to fill a 10-inch cast iron pan just like my Grandma used to do.

Ingredients | Chicken Thigh Recipes Cast Iron Pot

2 ½ cups all-purpose flour

½ teaspoon salt

1 cup chilled solid vegetable shortening

6 tablespoons ice water, or as needed

3 cups cubed cooked turkey

½ small onion, chopped

1 (10.75 ounce) can cream of potato soup

1 (10.75 ounce) can cream of chicken soup

½ (10.75 ounce) can water

2 (15 ounce) cans mixed vegetables, drained

salt and pepper to taste

Directions

Whisk together the flour and 1/2 teaspoon of salt in a bowl. Cut the shortening into the flour mixture with a pastry cutter until the mixture looks like coarse crumbs. Drizzle the ice water, about 1 tablespoon at a time, over the mixture and gently work the water into the dough with your fingers. Add more water as needed until you can gather the dough together in a ball. Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and refrigerate for 30 minutes.

Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).

In a saucepan, mix together the turkey, onion, cream of potato soup, cream of chicken soup, water, and mixed vegetables. Bring the mixture to a boil; reduce heat and allow to simmer while you prepare the crust.

Cut the dough in almost equal halves. Roll the larger piece into a circle on a floured work surface and fit into a 10-inch cast-iron skillet. Roll out the smaller piece into a circle to fit the top. Pour the hot turkey filling into the bottom crust. Place top crust over the filling, crimp the two crusts together with a fork, and cut several slits in the top with a sharp knife.

Bake in the preheated oven until the crust is golden brown, about 45 minutes.
