I am going to be making a turkey next weekend and one of the things I will do with the lefovers is make a few turkey pot pies.. My question is how do you make the sauce.

I usually put Peas, carrots, potatoes in it, and the sauce..

Thanks,
M.

What can I do next?

I had to think of a way to thicken a turkey gravy without using any gluten. I wasn't too happy with cornstarch, or the other gluten-free flours. So I came up with this idea: I boiled a couple of potatoes until they were really, really tender. Then, I know you're not supposed to put potatoes that are going to be mashed into a blender or mixer or food processor, because that makes them gluey. But that was what I was looking for. So I pureed the potatoes in the food processor (a mixer would work, too), adding milk until they were like thick baby food. I did not add any butter or salt. I just wanted thick pureed bland potatoes. Then I stirred them into the gravy and the gravy thickened up really nicely. The potatoes didn't affect the taste.

The sauce would be left over gravy, made with corn starch.

You can use potato or rice flour to make the crust.

Do you have access to kosher groceries in your neck of the woods? Passover is coming (but not until end of March) and you will be able to purchase potato starch or cake meal. If the timing won't work, I suspect if you can find a kosher butcher/grocery store, you'll find these items year round as well.
