Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups cooked, shredded turkey
- 1 cup chopped carrots
- 1 cup chopped celery
- 1/2 cup chopped onion
- 1/2 cup butter
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 cups chicken broth
- 1 cup milk
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- For the Biscuit Topping:
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup cold butter, cut into pieces
- 3/4 cup milk
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Melt the butter in a large saucepan over medium heat. Add the onion, carrots, and celery. Cook until softened, about 5 to 7 minutes.
- Whisk in the flour to create a roux. Cook for 1 minute, stirring constantly.
- Gradually whisk in the chicken broth and milk until the mixture thickens into a sauce.
- Stir in the cooked turkey, thyme, salt, and pepper. Remove from heat.
- Pour the filling into a 9-inch pie dish.
- Prepare the biscuit topping: In a bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Cut in the cold butter using a pastry blender or your fingers until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- Stir in the milk until just combined to form a soft dough. Do not overmix.
- Drop spoonfuls of the biscuit dough over the turkey filling, leaving small gaps between them.
- Bake for 20 to 25 minutes, or until the biscuits are golden brown and the filling is bubbly.
- Let it cool slightly before serving. Enjoy your cozy meal!
Notes
- You can substitute frozen mixed vegetables for fresh carrots, celery, and onion if you need a quicker option.
- For extra richness, add 1/2 cup of frozen peas to the filling mixture before topping with biscuits.
- This recipe works perfectly with leftover chicken if you don’t have turkey.
