Turtle Pumpkin Pie

Every Thanksgiving evening, after dinner has settled, we eat pie. Lots of pie! Banana Cream, Lemon Meringue, Chocolate, Coconut Cream, Apple, Cherry, and our traditional Sugar Pie. And our fairly recent new comber... Turtle Pumpkin Pie.

I've never been a Pumpkin Pie fan until I made Turtle Pumpkin Pie. And now it's become my absolute favorite! It's light and fluffy with just the right amount of pumpkin and spice. It's tantalizing to the taste buds. It's divinely delicious. And, it's as easy as pie to make!
