In the kitchen with Sharon this week is Renda Hollon Nickell with her delicious pot pie recipe — just in time for your turkey and chicken leftovers.

Renda is my Facebook friend and was telling us about this recipe. I asked her to please let me share this in my column. She graciously agreed and sent it to me.

I have never made a pot pie before, but I can assure you I will make this wonderful recipe. It is perfect for all your turkey and chicken leftovers from Thanksgiving.

Thank you so much Renda for sharing with all of us.

Please send me your favorite recipes, and a story about the recipe if you have one. Send them to [email protected]. Have a great week!

Renda said this recipe is from a friend of her’s, Sonia Scarbery, from over 20 years ago.
