You are going to love this delicious version of a Turkey Pot that I am sharing with you today. For my American readers it will be a unique and delicious way of using up some of their Thanksgiving turkey leftovers, and for my British readers it will be a wonderful way o f using up some of their Christmas turkey leftovers, so whichever side of the pond you reside, this is a recipe you will want to bookmark and use! Its simple to make and very, very tasty! Leftovers never tasted so good!
Its also a recipe which allowed me to highlight a product that I received in my November Degustabox which arrived just two days ago. Win/win! I get to eat something tasty and I get to do something for this fab company at the same time! Yay! I was a little late getting my review in last month, so this month I am being sure to get it in extra early before the holidays take over and time gets away from me!
Every month I am the happy recipient of a Degustabox. I love these boxes. Opening each one is a bit like opening a Christmas box. Always a surprise and always filled with things I want to try. Degustabox is a monthly foodie subscription service that sends out a range of specially selected foodie products. There's always a great mix of new products that I haven't tried before, as well as plenty of treats from more established brands. Quite often you will have the opportunity to try new products before they arrive in the shops, so it can be a bit of a sneak peak! Each Degustabox costs £12.99, delivery costs are included in the price, and there is no fixed contract involved - you can cancel at any time. I love getting these boxes!! This month actually was their Christmas box so bonus! There were quite a few things in this recent box that screamed out to me as something which I could use to create something tasty with, so watch this space. Today I want to highlight the Kallo Stock pots in the recipe I am showing you, but first a bit about what was in the November Box.

I already use their stock cubes, and rice cakes. I especially love the milk chocolate ones.
I personally received the Kallo Chicken Stock Pots and this is what I used to make the filling for my pot pies today. I thought they added a lovely flavor to my gravy, and worked out perfectly. I love that all of the ingredients are organic and natural. Nothing artificial here.
The filling is very simple to make. You begin by sauteing some celery and onion in a large saucepan, and then you add some chopped apple. This forms the base for that delicious gravy.
You add some chopped cooked turkey and a couple of sliced cooked sausages to the gravy and pour it into a baking dish.
Then a simple cheese, spring onion and cornbread dumpling getd dolloped on top and you pop the whole thing into the oven until the filling is bubbling and those dumplings are puffed, golden brown and so deliciously sitting on top!
Altogether this is quite, quite delicious and very easy to throw together. I think this is something the whole family is going to love, and of course a part of that is having a delicious stock to make the gravy with!
