Welcome to my leftover Greek Spanakopita pie in the air fryer recipe. Enjoy a delicious Greek pie made with leftover turkey but adding a bit of tradition with spinach, feta cheese, onions and seasoning.
Add to this a lovely filo pastry crust and you have a delicious meal.
I love Greek food. I mean I really love Greek food. To me it is one of the great tastes of the Mediterranean and it gives a lovely flavour yet a lot of the food is relatively healthy.
Take this spanakopita pie that I am sharing with you today. It is made with leftover turkey from Christmas but best of all it is full of spinach, seasonal vegetables and let’s not forget that it is like having a leftover turkey pie, just a healthier one.

When I think of pie, my first thought is a chicken and vegetable pot pie or a steak and ale one. Of course I love both of them but the Greeks do it a much healthier way.
Instead of a cheese sauce filling or a booze one you have the base of a frittata. It is then whipped up with some eggs and filled inside a lovely layer of filo pastry. Filo pastry of course is the skinny one minus all the crazy calories that go with a love for puff pastry.
Add to this cheese, which is my mums 1st love and you have a lovely pie to tuck into. Add to this whatever leftovers you have around in your fridge or meat leftover from a roast dinner and you have a fantastic way to enhance your plate this winter and beyond.
Plus I also find that when you buy filo pastry you always have so much leftover that you can reserve some more for another round of pie. Or would that be greedy?
Plus if your kids say that they hate spinach offer them a slice of this pie with the other delicious fillings that you have put in and I am sure they will be begging you for a second slice.

Notes
Nutrition

I notice you have 2 large eggs listed twice (once after the filo pasty and again after the onion). Is this a typo, or we actually using 4 large eggs in this recipe, in addition to 1 small egg for brushing the pastry?
Hi Joy
Yes it’s definitely a typo. Thank you for pointing this out ?
How much cream cheese? No mention of amount in the recipe.
Thanks
Hi Susan
It should say 1 tub or 250g of cream cheese 🙂
Thanks
How do you place a dish for the pot pie in the actifry
Hi Denise,
I am not sure how it works with the actifry, as we have the Philips, but we just place a dish that fits into our air fryer basket. When we got it we experimented with what fits and then have a pile of go to dishes.
Kind regards
Sam
