Family Circle's Lean Chicken/Turkey Pot Pie image

From Family Circle magazine. This chicken pot pie recipe is low in fat, calories, and sodium, but still has so much flavor. It's a much healthier version of traditional chicken/turkey pot pie. The only thing I did differently was that I used turkey, a little more salt and pepper, peas in place of green beans, and I used 2 cans of low-fat crescent rolls because I couldn't find phyllo dough. I put one can of the crescent rolls on the bottom of the greased pan and baked at 350°F for a little over 20 minutes until golden brown, put the pot pie mixture in it, and then used the other can to top the mixture and baked at 350°F for 20 minutes. You can either follow the recipe if you wish or you can try the variation that I used. Hope you like this as much as we did!

This pot pie is a great way to use up leftover chicken or turkey. It's also a great dish to make ahead of time. I like to make it on the weekend and then reheat it during the week for dinner.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my pot pie didn't turn out anything like the picture. It was a complete disaster.

I'm not sure what went wrong, but my pot pie turned out terrible. The filling was watery and the crust was raw.

This pot pie was a bit too salty for my taste. I think I would use less salt next time.

The crust on this pot pie was a bit too thick for my liking. I think I would use a thinner crust next time.
