Ingredients

2 lb leftover turkey or chicken, cut into 1-inch cubes
4 tbsp unsalted butter
1 onion diced
1 cup mushrooms sliced
4 cloves garlic minced
1 cup carrots chopped
1 cup celery chopped
2 cups Yukon Gold potatoes diced
1 cup chicken broth
¼ cup flour
½ cup heavy cream
1 sheet puff pastry
½ tsp salt
½ tsp ground black pepper
1 tsp fresh thyme

Instructions

Sauté the veggies.
Turn your Ninja Foodi to saute mode on medium to high heat. Throw in your butter and once it melts, add the onions, carrots, celery, thyme, garlic, mushrooms, salt, and pepper. Allow the veggies to cook for 5 minutes or until the onions start to turn translucent.
Add the turkey and potatoes.
Now you can add the turkey (or chicken) along with the potatoes and the chicken broth. Sauté for another 5 minutes.
Pressure cook.
Turn your Ninja Foodi to pressure mode, secure the pressure lid, and set the pressure release valve to "seal". Cook for 10 minutes on high. Then you can immediately release the pressure.
Thicken.
Add in the flour and cream to the pot pie filling. It should thicken up after just a couple of minutes.
Add on the crust.
Use the black air fryer basket from the Ninja Foodi as a template to cut your puff pastry. First, roll out your puff pastry to ensure it is thick enough to cover the entire diameter of the Ninja Foodi pot. Place the air fryer basket on top of the puff pastry and cut it around the outside. You may need to roll it to make it slightly bigger after cutting it since the air fryer basket is slightly smaller than the Ninja Foodi pot.
Crisp it up.
Close the air fryer lid and set the Ninja Foodi to air fry mode. Cook it for 8 minutes at 400°F. You can first give the puff pastry an egg wash to make it turn a beautiful gold color. Use a pastry or a silicone brush to lightly coat the top of the puff pastry with a beaten egg.
Scoop and dish.
Use a wooden spoon to scoop your turkey pot pie out and dish it into a bowl. Enjoy!

Notes

Thickening The Filling

After adding the cream and flour, you usually do not need extra heat to thicken the filling. If it seems too runny, turn the Ninja Foodi to sauté mode over medium heat and cook for about 5 minutes. Add more flour 1 tablespoon at a time only if needed.

Open The Pressure Lid Safely

Once you release the pressure, always open the lid away from you. If any residual pressure remains, the lid helps shield you from hot steam and moisture.

Protect The Nonstick Surface

Use wooden or silicone utensils inside your Ninja Foodi. Metal utensils can scratch the nonstick surface.

Puff Pastry Tip

Use the air fryer basket as a template for cutting the puff pastry so it fits neatly over the filling.
