I don't worry much about carbs but a Banquet frozen pot pie already has
a double crust so what's the point of serving this nuked concoction with
bread or rolls? Redundent.

I hear ya! For me, make it a chicken thigh, perhaps with a light sauce.
Served with a couple of cooked veggies. Much tastier and much more
healthy than doing something wierd with an already not very good frozen
Banquet frozen turkey pot pie.

And to think not long ago he chided me for doctoring up a frozen pizza
