This is my go-to recipe for stuffing. (there is a lot of stuffing here, so you can cut the recipe in half if you like)
- 1 1/2 cups chopped celery
- 3/4 cup chopped onion
- 1 cup butter
- 8 – 9 cups cubed bread (I like to use a mix of white, whole wheat and pumpernickel)
- 1 1/2 tsp salt
- 1 1/2 tsp sage
- 1 tsp thyme
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/2 cup raisins and apples (optional)
Creamy Turkey Filling:
- 1 tbsp butter
- 1 cup chopped celery
- 3/4 cup chopped onion
- 2 carrots (chopped)
- 1/4 cup flour
- 2 cups chicken broth
- 1/2 cup dry white wine
- 1/2 tsp thyme
- salt & pepper
- 4 cups chopped cooked turkey
- 1 cup frozen peas
- 1/2 cup whipping cream (or you can use half & half too)
Instructions
Stuffing:
- Cook celery and onions in butter until tender.
- Add bread cubes. Mix until bread is coated in butter.
- Add salt, spices, raisins and apples. Combine well.
- Set aside.
Creamy Turkey Filling:
- Cook celery, onions and carrot in butter, until tender.
- Add flour, stir to coat vegetables, and cook for about 1 minute.
- Gradually whisk in chicken broth, wine and spices.
- Bring to a boil.
- Reduce heat to low, then add turkey, peas and cream.
- Simmer until thickened.
- Remove from heat, and let it cool slightly.
Putting it all together:
- Transfer turkey mix into an oven dish.
- Spoon the bread topping over the turkey mixture.
- Bake, uncovered, in a preheated 350 degree oven for 45-60 minutes.
- Filling should be bubbling, and the topping golden browned and crispy.

Mmm yum! I just made chicken pot pie on my blog earlier this week (www.StarHughes.com) but I think that turkey pot pie might be even better! And it’s much more original than plain old chicken pot pie 😉 Great post – I’ll definitely be trying this out soon. I love your blog!
That looks so delicious – a must-have recipe that I will be trying soon!
Whipping cream is listed in the ingredients but not in the directions. When is it added?
Sorry about that, I fixed the recipe. Just add it at the step where you stir in the turkey and peas.
