Even when I make smoked turkey I make much more than I think is needed so I can make pot pies with the leftovers. Place one of your pie crusts into a pie pan. If necessary, roll out the crust a bit to fit the pan. In the pie crust, add in leftover mashed potatoes. Make sure you spread the potatoes out nicely.
