Turkey and Potato Pot Pie (Turkey à la King)

I have a little obsession with beets at the moment. And this little obsession led me to the uncharted world of beet risotto. Something I wish I had explored earlier. This beet risotto is hands down the most decadent of all my risottos. With its vivid color and deep flavors, it’s somewhat of a show-off. Not to mention nourishing and incredibly beautiful!
