I used ground turkey in this pie instead of beef, and it turned out great! The filling was still flavorful and hearty, and the turkey made it a bit healthier.

This pie was a hit at my Christmas Eve party! I used a store-bought pie crust to save time, and it turned out great. The filling was flavorful and hearty, and the crust was flaky and golden brown.
