Homemade Turkey Stock & Turkey Pot Pie

   Turkey stock is one mandatory thing we make at our house if we hosted Thanksgiving that year. Its weird how when making the stock, our house smells more like turkey than it did on the day we actually cooked the turkey. We usually make turkey soup, but this time I made a pot pie. After having turkey sandwiches for lunch and saving turkey for the pot pie, there wasn't a lot of  of turkey leftover.

 Pot Pies are classic, whether it be chicken, turkey, or beef. But it seems like every pot pie that I buy in the freezer section at the store nowadays tastes like they added a cup of salt to it. Yuck! Ive made pot pies before and usually I make the pie crust myself, but with my SATs coming up this weekend among a list of other things I have to do, I decided that using store bought pie crust wouldn't hurt any.

 My dad said that this tasted better than the pot pies he used to buy from the store. This pie is packed with vegetables and has a thick, creamy sauce that goes well again the buttery, flaky crust.
