I’ve personally made this leftover turkey pot pie recipe and it is so easy and tasty. One little tip, don’t panic when making the topping dough. It doesn’t seem like its going to turn out but trust me it will and the end result looks great and tastes even better.
Ingredients
•¼ cup chopped sweet onion
•¼ cup thinly sliced celery
•4 tablespoons butter
•1/3 cup flour
•1 teaspoon salt
•½ teaspoon coarsely ground pepper
•2 cups chicken broth
•2/3 cup half & half
•3 to 4 cups diced turkey (leftovers!)
Topping
•2 cups biscuit making mix
•2 tablespoons shortening
•1/3 cup milk
Preparation
•Prepare filling:
In a skillet, melt butter over medium-low heat. Add onion and celery; sauté, stirring, until tender. Blend in the flour, salt, and pepper, stirring and cooking until smooth and bubbly. Gradually add chicken broth, stirring constantly. Add milk, stirring. Continue cooking, stirring, until mixture is thickened. Add remaining filling ingredients and bring to a boil, stirring constantly. Continue stirring and cooking gently for about 30 seconds. Pour filling into an 11.5 x 7.5-inch baking dish. Keep warm in the oven while making the biscuit topping.
•Prepare topping:
In a bowl, combine the baking mix, shortening, and milk. Stir with a fork to make soft dough. Shape dough into a smooth ball on a floured surface and knead about 5 times. Pat dough into a rectangle about 11×7-inches to fit baking dish. Cut 4 to 6 slits in top of the dough then carefully fit over the hot filling. Bake for about 15 to 20 minutes, until topping is browned and filling is bubbly.
