Can I have this recipe on Weight Watchers? <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Weight Watchers newest program, Personal Points, caters a plan to each individual. Their plan is still relatively the same in that you can eat anything you like you just need to track it and stay without your points ranges for the day \/ week. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Now that the plan is different for each and every individual there’s not really a way for us to provide the points for you. We recommend that you use the recipe creator on the app or the website<\/a> to create the recipe based on the ingredients \/ brands you use and then you’ll know for sure how to track this recipe for your Personal Points plan! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This recipe is great for people who are on most of the plans because we’re using low carb items and the new plan seems to steer toward macros, and keto recipes! <\/p>\n\n\n

What is in this WW friendly pot pie recipe? <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

This recipe uses pretty simple ingredients to make a homemade crust and filling that is low carb and healthy. You will need almond flour, eggs, baking powder, cheddar cheese, and butter for the crust. For the filling we will use turkey breast, olive oil, butter, onion, carrots, celery, Italian seasoning, garlic, heavy whipping cream, and chicken broth! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

While that might seem like a long list of ingredients you’ll notice that a lot of those items you probably already have on hand. After Thanksgiving when you have more leftover turkey than you know what to do with this recipe is great for turning those leftovers into something new and tasty! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

As always, find the full amounts, step by step ingredients, and estimated nutritional info in the printable recipe card at the bottom of the post! <\/p>\n\n\n

How to make an easy homemade pot pie: <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Cut all the vegetables into cubes<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Heat the oil in a skillet over medium-high heat.<\/p>\n\n\n

\n
\"ingredients<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n

Add the turkey breast pieces and salt and pepper to taste. Saute the meat until it is cooked completely through. Remove and set aside.<\/p>\n\n\n

\n
\"veggies<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n

Place the butter in a saucepan over medium heat, and add the celery, onions and carrots to it once the butter has melted.<\/p>\n\n\n

\n
\"Finished<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n

Cook the vegetables over medium heat until the celery and onions begin to become tender.<\/p>\n\n\n

\n
\"recipe<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n

Add the minced garlic and Italian seasoning to the pan, and saute for 30 seconds longer.<\/p>\n\n\n

\n
\"first<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n

Whisk the heavy whipping cream and chicken broth into the saucepan, and continue to cook until the mixture has thickened.<\/p>\n\n\n

\n
\"ingredients<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n

Place the turkey into the saucepan with the vegetables, and toss to mix well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Pour the mixture into a greased 9×9 baking dish.<\/p>\n\n\n

\n
\"dough<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n

While the vegetables are cooking, mix together the ingredients for the crust until well combined into a dough.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Place the dough in the freezer to chill a bit until the vegetables are done cooking.<\/p>\n\n\n

\n
\"dough<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n

Spread the dough out over the top of the filling. Bake for 20 minutes and top with freshly chopped parsley before serving if desired.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How many servings does this recipe make? <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

This recipe will make about 6 servings. You can make them larger or smaller based on your own judgement \/ needs but I usually calculate this recipe at 6 servings. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you want to double the recipe use a larger casserole baking dish to make this recipe so that it works out a little easier and you don’t have to find two pans the same size to cook them both at the same time. <\/p>\n\n\n

\n
\"finished<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n

I like to make a larger batch so we have some leftover to enjoy throughout the week. They get gobbled up pretty quickly in our house! <\/p>\n\n\n\n
