Here are the step-by-step directions for how to make air fryer pot pie:
- Preheat the air fryer to 375 degrees Fahrenheit (190C) for 5 minutes. Remove any plastic packaging and plastic wrap from your pot pie. Cover the top of your pot pie with foil. (Yes, aluminum foil is safe in the air fryer.)
- The cook time for air fryer turkey pot pie or air fryer chicken pot pie depends on its size:
- 7-10 ounce pot pies (198-283g): Air fry covered for 25 minutes (or until internal temp is 155-160F/68-71C), then remove foil and air fry 4-5 minutes more for a crisp crust.

You can use a Ninja Foodi, Cosori, Philips, Pampered Chef Air Fryer, Actifry, Nuwave, Instant Vortex, Cuisinart, Power Air Fryer, or another air fryer to make pot pies. However, you may need to adjust the cook time depending on the air fryer you use. Also, your air fryer needs to be big enough to fit the pot pie inside (small air fryer baskets may not fit large pot pies).
➕ Pie Tin in Air Fryer
You can leave the pot pie in its aluminum pie pan. Keep in mind that your pot pie may cook differently if it’s in a paper pie plate. You don’t need to slice vent holes in crust of the pot pie.
I prefer to completely cover the top of the pot pie with foil, not just the edges of the crust. IMVHO, the finished cooked pot pie looks nicer when the whole pie is wrapped, with more even browning. Now you can make Marie Callender frozen chicken pot pie in air fryer, Banquet pot pie in air fryer, or whatever frozen pot pie you like best!
I also tested making air fryer pot pie without foil, but the crust got too browned, as you can see below.

Notes
💭 Expert Tips from Dietitian Summer Yule
This is a level 3 recipe (weight maintenance and active lifestyles). Frozen pot pie from the store is an ultra-processed food and easy to overeat. The crust is typically made primarily of white flour and added fat. That delicious creamy filling often has more added fat and is high in sodium. The major brands of frozen pot pies don’t offer keto, vegan, low carb, or gluten-free options. That means that you’ll be giving up frozen pot pies if you are following one of these special diets. One reason that many see success with diets such as keto is that they need to give up a lot of highly processed foods. Before adopting one of these diets for weight loss, why not try limiting (or eliminating) ultra-processed foods first? You might find that you can make good progress just limiting things like frozen pot pies and frozen taquitos. Nutrition information is for one 7 ounce (198g) turkey pot pie. The exact nutrition information for your pot pie will depend on the brand and flavor you choose, as well as your portion size.
