The magic is in the contrast: crunchy toasted bread cubes layered over creamy vegetables and tender vegan protein, all cradled in a perfectly baked pie crust. It’s festive, fuss-free, and makes those post-holiday leftovers something to look forward to.

What Kind of Puff Pastry Should I Use?

For this pot pie, go for a vegan-friendly store-bought pie crust or puff pastry. Many frozen puff pastries are accidentally vegan (just check the label to avoid butter). If you want a homemade touch, try a vegan olive oil crust for a richer, rustic flavor.

Ingredients for the Vegan Thanksgiving Pot Pie

Pie Crust: The buttery base that holds all the cozy filling.
Stuffing Cubes: Adds savory, herbed crunch on top. Opt for cubed sourdough or country bread.
Vegan Butter or Olive Oil: Brings richness and helps toast the stuffing topping to golden perfection.
Yellow Onion: For a sweet, mellow base flavor.
Celery & Carrots: Classic stuffing ingredients that bring texture and color.
Frozen Peas: A pop of sweetness and green.
Garlic: Because everything savory tastes better with it.
Flour + Plant-Based Milk: Forms a creamy gravy that ties everything together.
Vegan Chicken or Chickpeas: Adds protein and heartiness.
Fresh Herbs (Sage, Thyme, Parsley): Elevates the dish with autumn aroma.
Salt & Pepper: To season it just right.

How To Make the Vegan Thanksgiving Pot Pie

Step 1: Prep the Pie Crust

Roll out your vegan pie crust into a deep pie dish. Chill in the fridge while you prepare the filling to keep it crisp when baking.

Step 2: Make the Creamy Vegetable Filling

In a large skillet, heat vegan butter or olive oil. Sauté chopped onion, celery, and carrots until soft. Add garlic and cook until fragrant. Stir in flour and whisk in plant-based milk to create a creamy base. Mix in peas, vegan chicken or chickpeas, salt, pepper, and herbs. Simmer until thickened.

Step 3: Assemble the Pie

Pour the creamy filling into the prepared crust. Top with stuffing cubes tossed in olive oil or melted vegan butter. Sprinkle additional herbs if desired.

Step 4: Bake Until Golden

Bake at 375°F (190°C) for 35–40 minutes or until the crust is golden and the top is crisp. Let it sit for 10 minutes before serving.

Serving and Storing Vegan Thanksgiving Pot Pie

Serve this pot pie warm from the oven while the stuffing top is still crisp and golden. It slices beautifully once rested, making it ideal for a holiday centerpiece. Store leftovers in the fridge for up to 4 days; reheat in the oven or air fryer to revive the crunchy topping.
