Paleo Pie Crust

I made a gluten free Turkey Pot Pie yesterday for dinner.  It was absolutely wonderful! Of course I had to share it with you right before the holidays.

The truth is, this is my first time roasting a turkey.  I always bring dessert for Thanksgiving so I never really had the need to make a turkey.  By the way, how did the turkey come out?  It was okay.  I tried to make a slow roasted turkey by following Nourished Kitchens recipe and it was a bit dry on top, I am pretty sure I overcooked it.  Next time I will try brining.  But I will get it right!

Nevertheless, I love Turkey Pot Pies, and so does my husband, so that is why I decided to make one.  I will admit, making a Turkey Pot Pie, from scratch takes several hours, but, in the end its worth it.  That is why I am just sharing the crust recipe with you.  If any of you request the whole pot pie recipe, I will share it.  If you are up for the challenge.

I actually made two pies and this is the one that I ended up reheating for dinner tonight.  It actually was even more flavorful than the first.    My 6 year old daughter helped make this pie and I am sure that is why it tasted better!  She kneaded the dough and put so much love into it.  It was a special bonding moment that I will treasure forever.

I ended up making two crusts for the Turkey Pot Pie, but a top crust would work just fine.

You can use this pie crust to make a pot pie, quiche, pumpkin pie, apple pie, you name it.  It's a basic paleo pie crust.  I think I will make an apple pie with this recipe and serve it with some homemade vanilla bean coconut ice cream, yeah, that sounds good.
