TURKEY POT PIE

Ingredients

1½ - 2 cups of Turkey (diced) 
1 10.75oz can of Cream of Chicken 
1 10.75 Can of Potato Soup 
1/3 bag of Frozen Mixed Vegetables - Thawed 
3/4 cup of Milk 
3/4 cup of Chicken Broth 
Sage 
Pepper

Salt
Thyme
Parsley (dried)
Onion Powder

Pie Crust (I used pre-made....the kind you just unroll. For the amount I made it took 3 unrolled sheets of pie crust ....... I didn't have to grease or flour the casserole dish)

 
Line a casserole dish with Pie Crust.
In a large bowl, mix both cans of soup and ½ cup of each of the Milk and Chicken broth
Add the Vegetables, mix again
Add the Turkey, mix again
Sprinkle lightly with Sage, Thyme, Salt, Pepper, Onion Powder and Parsley.
Add the remaining ¼ cup of each, Chicken broth and Milk and stir it all up.
Pour everything into Pie Crust, put the top layer on and pinch it all together. Lightly brush over it with melted butter. Poke a few fork holes on top.  Place in a 350º oven for 50 - 60 minutes...Let stand for about 10 minutes before cutting into. (You can cover the edges of the pie with foil so the edge of the crust doesn't burn)
(The casserole dish I used was a slightly bit bigger than needed. I probably could have used 2 of each can of soup....so the mixture above should be perfect for a 9 or 10 inch pie)  
♣  If you want to use Beef, I would change the broth to Beef broth and the Cream of Chicken soup to either Cream of Mushroom OR Cream of Celery, but KEEP the Cream of Potato ........and OMIT the SAGE and THYME and put in about a 1/2 teaspoon of minced GARLIC)

2 or 3 Bell Peppers (Green, Red, Yellow or any combination you like)
6-8 Potatoes
1 Medium Onion
Salt
Pepper
Onion Powder
Water

Boil the Italian Sausage for 20-30 minutes. While the Italian Sausage is boiling, peel and cut up the Potatoes. Place them in a separate pot to boil. Once water reaches a boil, boil for 5 minutes. Drain when done and place them in a baking dish (about 9x13) Cut up the Onion and Peppers. When Italian Sausage is done, cut them in to bite size slices (¼ -½ inch thick). Add the Italian Sausage, Onion and Peppers to the baking dish. Season with Salt, Pepper and Onion Powder. Mix together and season again, then place pats or dollops of Butter or Margarine over the top of the casserole. Add about ½ cup of water, enough to barely cover the bottom of the dish.
