Use your leftover turkey in this hearty and low-carb recipe. This keto turkey pot pie recipe is the perfect lunch or dinner.
After your holiday meal is over, what do you do with all your leftover turkey? Sure, you can shred it and use it in salads, but you’ll get tired of turkey really quick if you don’t use it in a creative and different recipe. That’s why I love this recipe so much! It doesn’t even taste like the same Turkey that we ate on Thanksgiving.

Keto Turkey Pot Pie Crust
The secret to this recipe is the flaky pot pie crust with almond flour. Here’s what I used to make my crust.
- Almond Flour
- Egg
- Baking Powder
- Butter
- Shredded cheddar cheese
Don’t use coconut powder as a straight substitute. It soaks up more moisture than almond flour so you’ll have to adjust how much egg and butter you use. I perfected the recipe with the almond flour.
If you are allergic to eggs, you can use an egg substitute instead.
If you don’t have cheddar cheese, you can use mozzarella cheese instead, it will just change the color of the crust.
How To Prep Crust Ahead Of Time
Save yourself time and make the crust ahead of time. Bake it in the oven and then cover it with a lid or foil and store it in the refrigerator or freezer until you are ready to bake the pot pie. It will stay fresh in the freezer for up to 3 months and in the refrigerator for up to a week.
Low-Carb Pot Pie Filling
The filling was the fun part to make! I loved picking out the veggies to add with the turkey. Here’s what I ended up using.
- Turkey Breast
- Butter
- Onion
- Carrots
- Celery
- Italian Seasoning
- Garlic
- Heavy Whipping Cream
- Chicken Broth
You can fill this with any of your favorite vegetables. If you are on the keto diet, just remember that all vegetables have different amounts of carbs in them. You’ll have to account for the carbs that you add or take away from this recipe.
The heavy whipping cream is what makes this low-carb pot pie filling so creamy!
How To Prep Filling Ahead of Time
Making the filling ahead of time will save you time in the kitchen. Then, all you have to do is grab the filling and put it in the pre-made crust – bake and done!
Cook the filling like normal then let it cool completely and store it in a sealed container in the refrigerator. It will stay fresh for up to a week.
One Of My Favorite Keto Holiday Recipes
This is one of my favorite meals to eat around the holidays because the combination of the crust and the filling is high in protein and low in carbs. I feel like I’m cheating on my diet but I’m not!
If you want to serve this at a family dinner, make some parmesan green beans and serve it with this cauliflower mashed potatoes recipe. This will also taste amazing with some garlic butter mushrooms on the side too.
Low-Carb Comfort Food
This is the very definition of comfort food without all the carbs! The flaky, buttery crust melts in your mouth as the creamy filling fills your belly. It’s such a dream come true!
Not only is it hearty, but it is healthy too. It’s packed with heart-healthy vegetables. These veggies contain antioxidants that help your body get stronger and fight disease.
