How long should I cook a Turkey Pot Pie?

To prevent a soggy crust, brush the bottom and sides of the pie dish with an egg wash before adding the filling, and avoid overfilling the pie. You can also prick the bottom of the crust with a fork to allow steam to escape.

Question 7

Can I make a Turkey Pot Pie ahead of time?

Accepted Answer

Yes, you can assemble the Turkey Pot Pie ahead of time and refrigerate it for up to 24 hours before baking. You may need to add a few minutes to the baking time if the pie is cold when it goes into the oven.

Question 8

Leftover Turkey Pot Pie can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days. Reheat the pie in a preheated oven until heated through, about 20-25 minutes.

Question 9

When does Turkey Pot Pie expire?

Accepted Answer

Unopened homemade turkey pot pies should be consumed within 3 to 5 days of preparing, while unopened store-bought might last a bit longer, usually a week, provided it's been refrigerated from the beginning. If frozen right after purchasing or preparing, you can extend this timeframe to up to six months. Once the turkey pot pie is cooked, it should be consumed within 2 to 3 days when refrigerated. Make sure you always check the best before date when it comes to the store-bought varieties.

Question 10

How do you tell if Turkey Pot Pie is bad?

Accepted Answer

Check the texture and smell of the pot pie. If it has a sour or off smell, it might have gone bad. The same goes for if you notice any mold or growth on the pie. If the pie has a slimy feel to it, that's another sign that it has gone bad. Always remember, when in doubt, throw it out!

Question 11

Tips for storing Turkey Pot Pie to extend shelf life

Accepted Answer

• Always store your turkey pot pie right after purchasing or preparing in the refrigerator.

• If you plan on storing it for longer than a few days, consider freezing the pot pies. Ensure they're sealed well with a freezer bag or airtight container to avoid freezer burn.

• If it's a homemade pie, let it cool completely before storing to avoid condensation that could make it soggy.

• To defrost, transfer the frozen pie from the freezer to the refrigerator and let it defrost slowly for best texture and taste. You can also directly bake it from frozen, but it might require longer cooking time.
