Use a fork, wooden spoon or wire whisk to mix the filling. An electric mixer will overbeat the ingredients, causing the pie not to set properly.

You can save money by buying a whole turkey breast and making your own cutlets out of the tenderloins. Roast the rest of the breast at 325°F for about 10 minutes per pound for additional meals.
