Lightened Up Turkey or Chicken Pot Pie {dairy-free}

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 375 degrees.

Step 2

In a large Dutch oven or stock pot, heat the oil over medium heat.  Add the potatoes, celery, carrots, and onion and sauté about 5 minutes.  Add the broth and bring to a boil.  Reduce the heat to a simmer.  Put the arrowroot powder in a small bowl.  Add enough of the hot broth to create a slurry (about 2 tablespoons).  Stir the slurry into the vegetable mixture and turn off the heat.  Add the turkey or chicken, peas, salt, and pepper.

Step 3

Transfer the mixture to a 3-quart baking dish.  Add one sheet of phyllo dough on top of the mixture.  Spray it with your cooking oil.  Continue this process until you have 6 layers of phyllo dough.  Place the baking dish on a baking sheet. Bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes, until the top is golden brown.  Enjoy!
