Ingredients Needed
Banquet Frozen Turkey Pot Pie: Smaller pot pies work best in the air fryer basket. They are the perfect side for a quick dinner or lunch!
How To Air Fry Turkey Banquet Pot Pie
Step One: Preheat your air fryer to 375 degrees F (190°C).
Step Two: Remove the frozen turkey pot pies from their packaging if they are in plastic containers, and place them in the air fryer basket. If the frozen Banquet Pot pie comes in an aluminum pie plate, you can leave it in it. If your air fryer basket is small, you may need to cook the pot pies one at a time. Use a sharp knife and add a few slices; this will help let the steam escape.
Step Three: Then place the frozen pot pies in the air fryer basket, and set the cook time for 12-15 minutes. If the crust is browning too quickly, cover it with aluminum foil to prevent burning.
Banquet Turkey Pot Pie Air Fryer Recipe Tips
- Don’t overcrowd the basket: Make sure there’s space around the pot pie for even air circulation and a perfectly crisp crust.
- Adjust cooking time if frozen: If using a frozen pot pie, add a few extra minutes to ensure it’s heated through.
- Check halfway: Rotate or flip the pot pie halfway through cooking for uniform browning.
- Use a lower rack if needed: If the top browns too quickly, place the pot pie on a lower rack or cover loosely with foil.
- Let it rest: Allow the pot pie to sit for 1–2 minutes after cooking—filling will thicken and prevent spills.
Banquet turkey pot pie air fryer recipe faqs
Can I cook a frozen Banquet Pot Pie in the air fryer? Yes, you can! The air fryer is excellent for achieving a golden-brown, flaky crust, which is much better than the soggy result you get from microwaving.
What temperature and time should I use? A common method is to preheat the air fryer to 375°F (193°C) and cook for about 12-20 minutes. However, cooking time can vary based on your air fryer model and the pie size
.Do I need to cover the crust? Yes. The crust can brown very quickly. After the first 10–15 minutes, if the crust looks golden, loosely cover the edges or the top of the pie with a small piece of aluminum foil to prevent burning while the center finishes cooking.
How do I know when the pot pie is safe to eat? The pie is done when the internal temperature of the filling reaches 165°F (74°C). Use an instant-read thermometer inserted into the center filling to confirm. The filling should also be bubbling hot.
Can I leave the pie in the original aluminum pan? Yes, most frozen pot pies come in aluminum pans that are perfectly safe to use in the air fryer. Ensure the pan is not touching the heating element or blocking all the airflow.
Why is the bottom crust still raw/soggy? If the bottom is soggy, try placing the pot pie on an air fryer rack (if your model has one) or flipping it very carefully onto the top crust for the last 3-5 minutes of cooking.
