Ode to a Turkey Pot Pie
*, **, ***
Oh what could be better
than a Turkey Pot Pie
for breakfast, lunch and dinner?
(Minus the pounds
it so lovingly deposits
on my hips.)
Elusive frozen pot pie
with your one hour bake times,
I avoided your siren call.
With my own two hands,
in half the time,
for years and years and years now.
But what did mine eyes see
in the frozen entrée aisle,
waiting for me?
Marie Callenders, with her fancy ways,
created a “poofy pocket”
for the microwave.
Pot Pie,
Pot Pie,
my Turkey Pot Pie.
I love how you sigh
when I poke your crust
with my fork.
For what could be more appetizing
than a delicious, flaky crust and
a creamy, veggie filling?
No trip to Mimi’s,
no dough on my hands.
Just a pop in the microwave
and a fork.
Heaven.

* This fabulous plate is only $2.50 at Target!
** But is not microwaveable.
*** And also serves as proof that children’s plates don’t have to be tacky.

I’ve been making my own turkey and chicken pot pies for years now, with 1/2 the calories. My heavenly food is chicken fried rice from my favorite Chinese restaurant, but I’ve been avoiding it for many, many months now! Now you’ve got me thinking about it, I may have to give in soon and order some!
Shrimp Korma! Spicy….it is better than some ‘luvin’ I have had. Dip some Naan in it. Oh Lord!
Macaroni and cheese. Yum. Still love it. Great poem!
I was just dreaming of English steak and kidney pie this evening! I can only dream because I could never cook one in a hundred years. Or rather, I could, but like 90% of the things I cook, it wouldn’t be edible. Does Ms Callender do a steak and kidney pie? She should!
@Connie, my second favorite meal is chicken korma and naan. Again, not cooked by me. Obviously.
My heavenly food…pot roast! I am anxious for Fall so that I can get back to all those hearty and wonderful cold weather dishes!
I find it quite awesome that you mention where the plate is from because that was my first reaction: WHAT A GORGEOUS PLATE! I NEED ONE!! But. Then. YOu say it’s from Target. 🙁 Boo hiss. No Target up here in the great north called Canada. I’m very, very sad. 🙁
My heavenly food (for now) is a peach crumble pie that I’ve been making lately. It’s gorgeous! Sinful! Delicious!
