Old Fashioned Turkey Pie...

This is an old time favourite! You can prepare it, bake it and freeze it for later - if you don’t feel like serving “something turkey”so close after the holidays.

I have had all kinds of set-ups for festive dinners and I find that when you want to keep an informal and fun atmosphere, the buffet set up does work the best.
