Carbs in Classic Pot Pie
A normal chicken pot pie or turkey pot pie is often made with all purpose flour which is high in carbs and not gluten free.
According to the app I use called Cronometer, a classic dish serving of 8 ounces of pot pie has a single crust and 28.4 grams of carbs which is very high for anyone following a keto diet.
Next time you feel like making a pot pie, try our healthy pot pie recipe with 11 total grams of carbs for an 8 ounce serving and includes the biscuit too!

I adapted this recipe from one I made years ago that was gluten free, but not low carb.
The creamy filling was easily adapted without potatoes and the biscuits were delicious, but not low carb. Feel free if you're not low carb to check out my first Turkey or Chicken Pot Pie recipe.
I'd serve this pot pie with a side of my delicious creamy green beans!
Turkey Pot Pie Filling
celery
carrots
onion
heavy whipping cream or use coconut milk for dairy free
xanthan gum to thicken or use glucomannan
turkey cooked, diced or replace with cooked chicken or rotisserie chicken
Italian seasonings
pepper
Keto Drop Biscuits
butter or use coconut oil for dairy free
eggs
fresh basil
fresh parsley
cheddar cheese or use dairy free cheese
Directions for Filling of Keto Pot Pie Recipe
Place celery, carrots and broth in a large pot and bring to a boil. Cover and simmer until tender, about 10 minutes.
Place oil and onion into a large skillet and cook over medium heat until onion is tender, 4-5 minutes.
Sprinkle coconut flour over the onion then add in the heavy cream. Stir together until mixed. Add in the broth, carrots and celery into the skillet.
Sprinkle xanthan gum over the vegetables and broth in the skillet. Bring to a boil, reduce to medium low and continue to stir until mixture starts to thicken, about 10 minutes.
Once thickened, turn off heat and add in turkey and Italian seasoning, taste and adjust salt and pepper if needed.
Pour into a 9 by 13 baking casserole dish. Preheat oven to 375 degrees while you make the biscuits.
Keto Drop Biscuits
In a large bowl whisk flour and dry seasonings together.
Stir in the melted butter until combined, work out clumps.
Stir in eggs, fresh herbs and cheese. Make large 6 free form mounds and drop on top of the filling of the pot pie.
Bake 20-25 minutes or until biscuits are golden brown.
Can I make this with a bottom crust?
Yes you can make this with a keto pie crust, just use a 9 or 10 inch pie plate or cast-iron skillet and pre-bake the pie crust before adding filling.
How to Store
Cover the leftover turkey pot pie with aluminum foil or plastic wrap and place in the fridge for up to 3 days.
How to Reheat
For best results, reheat the pot pie covered, in a preheated 350 degree oven for 30 minutes.
You can also microwave individual pieces in a microwave-safe bowl for a minute but it's better using the oven.
How to Freeze
Bake, cool and cover with plastic wrap then aluminum foil or an airtight container and freeze for up to two months.
Anyway, regardless if you're low carb or not, this recipe is delicious and a great way to use up leftover turkey or chicken.
Adding in a few simple ingredients and pantry items you most likely have in your kitchen, nothing fancy here folks, and you've got a winning recipe the whole family will devour!
Honestly I think it's even better the next day!
It's simple, it's nutritious, it's comforting and it uses leftovers! How could you not love a recipe like that?
Unless of course you're not eating turkey on Thanksgiving? Well, then try it with ham? Ham pot pie? Maybe? Maybe not. I'm not quite sold on that, but I have made with leftover chicken breasts and it's just as good!

delicious as are all your recipes!

Made this. Smelled and tasted great! It was a little dry. I expected a gravy. Would it help to add more broth and cream? Hubby wants me to make it again not so dry. He's usually scared when I try new recipes. Ha! We want to perfect this keeper.
Ann
Hello - Made this last night. Smelled and tasted great! Was a bit dry. I expected more of a gravy. Should I increase broth and cream? So good that hubby wants to try again to perfect it. Not like him with an ew recipe. Ha! They scare him.
Brenda
You could increase the ingredients for the gravy. Glad he liked it!
ANT INYA
What wonderful food!
judith morin
Huh! 1/24 teaspoon pepper? Is it even worth trying to figure out how much that is using standard measuring spoons that range from 1 tablespoon down to 1/4 teaspoon. Why not just say "to taste"?
Brenda
Simple type, just 1/4 teaspoon or to taste, thanks for showing me there was a typo.
Janet Huyton
This looks yummy - will save for Christmas leftovers, been looking for a recipe for 'dumplings' for ages. Thanks so much.
Lacey
i just made this but used french beans, fresh peas, and celery for the veg. added more broth at the end as it turned out too thick. it was so delicious. thank you
Shawna
I made this for dinner tonight. I followed it exactly except I used chicken instead of turkey, only because that’s what I had. It is one of the best low carb dishes I have ever made, and I’ve made a lot. It literally tastes like pot pie and you can’t even taste any coconut at all. I still can’t believe how great this tastes. Will be making it regularly for sure.
Heather f
If I were to make this with almond flour, would it be the same amount as the coconut flour?
Brenda
No you need alot more almond flour to equal coconut. I usually suggest 1 cup almond if replacing 1/4 cup coconut.
Jacquelyn Miller
Could this be made ahead in the morning and put in the fridge to be baked at suppertime?
Brenda
Yes I think that would be fine.
Catharine J Cwanek
What could I substitute for the heavy cream of I need to go dairy free as well.
Brenda
I'd swap the heavy cream with canned coconut milk.
Sandy
This recipe looks great. I love pot pies. I’m wondering though instead of drop biscuits can the recipe but used just as well for baked biscuits?
Brenda
sure
Sandy
I just made this and it’s cooking. You say it’s 6 servings but when I got done making the biscuits it said drop 8 mounds instead. My casserole dish would not hold 8 anyways. Was this just a misprint?
I can smell it cooking. I have been waiting all day!
I will let you know how it turns out!
Brenda
Yes that was a misprint, thanks for noticing! I have just 6 mounds of biscuits in my pics.
Hilary
Can I omit the cheese in the biscuits? I am dairy free as well.
Brenda
yes you can
christine jernigan
I'm wondering if it would be okay to skip the Xanthum gum since it's only 1 tsp. Could I sub in corn starch? I just hate to buy ingredients I"ll onlyuse for one recipe. Thank you!
Brenda
You could swap it with corn starch.
Carol
This looks fabulous! I have been looking for a good recipe for low carb pot pie. One question: do you taste the coconut flour in the biscuits? I have never liked the taste of that flour in baking. Thank you for sharing your yummy recipes!
Brenda
My youngest son hates coconut and doesn't complain eating these are noticing a coconut flavor.
