I know this belongs on the receipe bd. but figured there would be more traffic here.
I am looking for a crockpot turkey pot pie, without a crust.
I would think skinless turkey thighs, cream of chicken soup, mushrooms, onion, carrots , celery, do I need any milk? How long would you cook it?
I am kind of new to the crockpot.... I have not experiemented too much yet. HELP! Thanks in advance!

Slow-Simmered Turkey, Pot Pie Style
Yields: About 10 cups or 6 main-dish servings
Prep Time: 15 minutes
Cook Time: About 7 hours
3 tablespoons margarine or butter
1 turkey thigh (about 2 1/2 pounds), skin removed
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
1 small onion, cut into 1-inch pieces
10 thyme sprigs
3 large celery stalks, each cut into 1 1/2-inch pieces
2 cups (about half a 16-ounce bag) peeled baby carrots
1 pound medium red potatoes, each cut into 4 wedges
1/3 cup all-purpose flour
1 can (14 to 14 1/2 ounces) chicken broth (1 3/4 cups)
1/4 cup heavy or whipping cream
1. In nonstick 10-inch skillet, melt 1 tablespoon margarine over medium-high heat. Add turkey to skillet; sprinkle with salt and pepper. Scatter onion around turkey. Cook turkey and onion 6 to 7 minutes or until turkey is browned on both sides.
2. Meanwhile, in 4 1/2- to 6-quart slow-cooker pot, place thyme, celery, carrots, and potatoes.
3. Transfer turkey and onion to slow cooker. Melt remaining 2 tablespoons margarine in same skillet over medium heat. Add flour and cook 1 minute, stirring. Add broth and cream; heat to boiling, stirring constantly. Pour broth mixture into slow cooker. Cover slow cooker with lid and cook on low setting as manufacturer directs, 7 to 8 hours or until turkey and vegetables are very tender.
4. To serve, discard thyme sprigs. With tongs, transfer turkey to cutting board. Cut meat from bone into bite-size pieces; return meat to slow cooker. Cover slow cooker and heat through on high setting if necessary.
