Cuisine: American
Serves: 6 servings
Ingredients
- 2 cups cooked turkey, shredded
- 1 cup mixed vegetables
- 1/2 cup turkey broth
- 1 cup milk
- 1 teaspoon thyme
- 1 can refrigerated biscuits
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Ensure the oven rack is positioned in the center for even cooking.
- In a large skillet, combine shredded turkey, mixed vegetables, turkey broth, milk, and dried thyme. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Stir ingredients together and heat over medium heat until the mixture is warm and slightly thickened, about 5-7 minutes.
- Transfer the turkey and vegetable mixture into a 9x13 inch baking dish, spreading it evenly across the bottom of the pan.
- Open the can of refrigerated biscuits and separate each biscuit. Arrange the biscuits on top of the turkey mixture, slightly overlapping them to create a complete covering.
- Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the biscuits are golden brown and the filling is bubbling around the edges.
- Remove from the oven and let the pot pie rest for 5-10 minutes before serving. This allows the filling to set and prevents burning.
- Serve hot, portioning out the pot pie with a spatula to ensure each serving gets both biscuit topping and filling.
Tips
- Use Leftover Turkey: This recipe is perfect for utilizing leftover turkey from holiday meals. Shredded turkey adds a rich flavor that elevates the dish.
- Customize Your Vegetables: Feel free to mix and match your favorite vegetables! Carrots, peas, and corn work wonderfully, but you can also add in some sautéed mushrooms or green beans for extra flavor.
- Season to Taste: Don't be shy with the salt and pepper! Adjust the seasoning according to your preference for a more personalized flavor.
- Check Biscuit Doneness: Keep an eye on the biscuits while baking. If they start to brown too quickly, you can cover the dish loosely with foil to prevent burning.
- Let It Rest: Allow the pot pie to rest for 5-10 minutes after baking. This helps the filling set, making it easier to serve and enhancing the overall flavor.
- Serve with a Side Salad: Pair your pot pie with a fresh green salad for a well-rounded meal that balances the richness of the pie.
