Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups cooked turkey, shredded or diced
  • 1 cup frozen mixed vegetables (peas, carrots, corn)
  • 1/2 cup chopped onion
  • 1/2 cup chopped celery
  • 1/4 cup butter
  • 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 cups chicken broth
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/4 teaspoon dried thyme
  • For the Biscuit Topping:
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup cold butter, cut into small pieces
  • 3/4 cup milk

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. In a large skillet or pot, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and celery and cook until softened, about 5 minutes.
  3. Stir in the flour and cook for 1 minute, stirring constantly.
  4. Gradually whisk in the chicken broth and milk until smooth. Bring to a simmer, stirring frequently, until the sauce has thickened.
  5. Add the cooked turkey, frozen mixed vegetables, salt, pepper, and thyme. Stir to combine and heat through.
  6. Pour the turkey mixture into a 9-inch pie dish or an oven-safe skillet.
  7. Prepare the biscuit topping: In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
  8. Cut in the cold butter using a pastry blender or your fingertips until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  9. Gradually add the milk, stirring until just combined. Do not overmix.
  10. Drop spoonfuls of the biscuit dough evenly over the turkey mixture.
  11. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the biscuits are golden brown and the filling is bubbly.
  12. Let stand for a few minutes before serving.

Notes

  • You can use leftover gravy instead of making a sauce from scratch.
  • Add other leftover vegetables like green beans or potatoes.
  • For a richer flavor, use half milk and half heavy cream for the filling.
