A Healthy Pot Pie

Yes, ladies and gents, there is a healthy pot pie out there. Since starting our new diet, I've discovered the joy of recipes on mrsdash.com. Mrs. Dash makes spices and sauces that are salt free, but really really tasty. I found this recipe today for a Turkey Pot Pie and we both loved it! It was so easy to make and had tons of flavor for a low-sodium meal. And, if you are on a low calorie diet, it only has 272 calories per serving, and the servings are a good size!

Just a heads up on this one and any other Mrs. Dash recipe I may post on here. You really have to use Mrs. Dash flavoring on these. I've done some comparing in the aisles, and Mrs. Dash really is the key ingredient to make the recipes healthy. Other brands will have at least double the calories, fat, and sodium.


Turkey Pot Pie


Ingredients
2 prepared frozen pie crusts, 9 inches in diameter
1 can condensed low-sodium cream of chicken soup
3/4 cup skim milk
1/4 cup Mrs. Dash Zesty Garlic Herb 10-minute marinade
1 tbsp cornstarch
16 oz mixed frozen vegetables
2 cups cooked diced turkey breast

Directions

1. Thaw pie crust and vegetables.

2. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

3. Cook and dice the turkey breast.

4. Grease pie pan with cooking spray and the bottom pie crust.

5. Whisk together soup, milk, Mrs. Dash, and cornstarch in a large bowl. Add the thawed vegetables and cooked turkey. Spoon the mixture into the pie pan. Top with the crust, pressing the crust onto the edges of the plate. Cut slits in several places on the crust.

6. Bake for 40 minutes in the oven. Let stand at least 5 minutes before serving.
