A cozy, flaky biscuit-topped pot pie that transforms leftover turkey and vegetables into a warm, satisfying meal perfect for quick dinners and comforting leftovers.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 cups shredded or chopped leftover turkey (dark or white meat)
  • 1 cup diced carrots
  • 1 cup frozen peas
  • 1/2 cup diced celery
  • 4 tablespoons (57 grams) unsalted butter
  • 3/4 cup (95 grams) all-purpose flour (1/4 cup for filling, 1/2 cup for biscuit dough)
  • 2 cups (475 ml) chicken broth, preferably low sodium
  • 3/4 cup (180 ml) milk, whole or 2%
  • 2 cups (240 grams) Bisquick or self-rising flour for biscuit topping
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder (optional)
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
  • 1 tablespoon fresh thyme or rosemary, chopped (optional)
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt for biscuit dough

Instructions

  1. Dice carrots and celery into small, even pieces (about 1/4 inch). Chop turkey into bite-size pieces if large. Set aside.
  2. In a skillet over medium heat, melt 4 tablespoons unsalted butter. Whisk in 1/4 cup all-purpose flour and stir for 2-3 minutes until light golden and nutty.
  3. Slowly whisk in 2 cups chicken broth and 3/4 cup milk, stirring constantly to avoid lumps. Let thicken about 5 minutes. Add garlic powder, onion powder, salt, pepper, and fresh herbs if using.
  4. Add diced carrots, celery, and peas. Simmer gently for 5-7 minutes until carrots are tender but firm. Stir in shredded turkey and cook 2 more minutes. Adjust seasoning.
  5. In a mixing bowl, combine 2 cups Bisquick or self-rising flour with 1/2 cup milk and 1/2 teaspoon salt. Stir until just combined; dough should be sticky.
  6. Spread filling evenly in skillet or baking dish. Drop biscuit dough by spoonfuls on top, covering most surface but leaving gaps for steam.
  7. Bake in preheated oven at 400°F (200°C) for 20-25 minutes until biscuits are golden and filling bubbles.
  8. Let pot pie rest 5 minutes before serving to thicken filling and ease serving.

Notes

Use cold milk or buttermilk for biscuit dough for better rise. Don’t overmix biscuit dough to keep it tender. If filling is too runny, add extra flour or cornstarch during thickening step. Tent pot pie with foil if biscuits brown too quickly. Can prepare filling ahead and refrigerate before baking.
