Shepard meets Pot Pie

Stuffing Crust Turkey PotPie
Made: November 1, 2012

Ingredients
- 2 cups cooked stuffing
- 3-4 tablespoons chicken stock/broth
- 1/4 cup cream cheese
- 1/2 cup turkey gravy
- 1 cup frozen broccoli florets, thawed
- 1/2 cup shredded Swiss cheese
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon pepper
- 2 cups cooked mashed potatoes
- 1/4 cup half & half
- 2 tablespoon butter, metled
- 1/2 cup French-fried onions (optional)

Directions
(If you haven't cook your stuffing, potatoes and turkey!)
- In a small bowl, combine stuffing and enough broth to reach desiered moistness
- Press into the bottom and up the sides of a greased 9-in deep-dish pie plate
- Bake at 350 F for 10-15 minutes or until lightly browned
- In a large bowl, beat cream cheese & gravy until smooth
- Stir in the turkey, broccoli, Swiss cheese, salt and pepper
- Spoon over crust
- In a small bowl, combine potatoes and cream
- Spread potatoes overtop turkey mixture
- Drizzle with butter
- Sprinkle with onions if desired
- Bake 20-25 minutes or until heated through and lightly browned

Again, I made a couple of revisions. I usually like to try out a new recipe step by step and make revisions later, but sometimes you have to improvise.
- I used chicken instead of turkey; although this would be quite yummy with Thanksgiving leftovers
- I used cream of chicken soup instead of gravy; I didn't think using brown gravy would have the same taste
- No Swiss cheese in the house, so I used Velvetta instead and chopped it into small cubes

Overall, the dish came out great! It was very yummy! But anything with stuffing has bonus points in my book!
