The temperature is changing — and so are the recipes that many people are already making or planning to make this fall season.
Celebrity chef Robert Irvine, based in Tampa, Florida, shared one of his fall recipes with Fox News Digital well ahead of the holidays.
His hope is to inspire a new dish using any delicious leftovers from family get-togethers and holiday meals.

“This turkey pot pie recipe gives you something a bit more interesting to do with Thanksgiving leftovers than just picking at them with the refrigerator door open,” he said.
While Irvine said there’s nothing wrong with eating your leftovers in that manner — the recipe could be a good excuse to get the family excited about eating that leftover turkey again, he said.
