What You Need

These ingredients make this Turkey Pot Pie with Biscuit Topping absolutely crave-worthy!

3 cups cooked turkey, shredded or cubed (Leftover turkey works perfectly here)
1 cup diced carrots (Grab fresh from the produce aisle for the best texture)
1 cup frozen peas (Add these last for a sweet pop of flavor)
1/2 cup diced celery (Crunchy freshness is key)
1 medium onion, diced
3 cloves garlic, minced (For that savory punch)
1/3 cup butter (Splurge on real butter to get that rich biscuit crust flavor)
1/3 cup all-purpose flour (The thickener for your creamy turkey filling)
2 cups chicken or turkey broth (Homemade or high-quality store-bought; this is the flavor base)
1 cup whole milk or heavy cream (Makes the filling ultra creamy)
2 teaspoons fresh thyme leaves or 1 teaspoon dried (I go heavy on fresh thyme for that herbal lift)
Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
1 cup Bisquick mix or biscuit dough (Grab this from the baking aisle for a shortcut biscuit topping)

A little tip on the biscuit topping: Using biscuit mix like Bisquick makes this Turkey Pot Pie with Biscuit Topping come together faster and still taste like you spent hours in the kitchen. For an extra flavor boost, swap regular milk in the dough for buttermilk—your biscuit crust pot pie gets even more fluffy and rich.

Keep your fresh turkey and veggies in airtight containers for maximum freshness while prepping; the last thing you want is soggy veggies in that creamy turkey filling. For a make-ahead hack, prep your creamy turkey filling a day before and chill—it actually makes the flavors meld better.

Trust me, this ingredient lineup is your ticket to a cozy, creamy Turkey Pot Pie with Biscuit Topping that hits all the right comfort food notes!

How to Make It

This step is where the magic happens with your Turkey Pot Pie with Biscuit Topping! Ready to get that kitchen smelling amazing? Here we go.

Prep the filling: Start by melting butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Toss in your diced onions, carrots, and celery. Sauté until everything is tender and the onions are translucent. This sets the base flavor for your creamy turkey filling. The smell alone will have everyone asking what’s cooking.
Add the garlic and thyme: Stir in your minced garlic and thyme for about a minute until fragrant, then sprinkle the flour over the veggies. This dusting will thicken your filling perfectly. Stir constantly so it cooks out the raw flour taste but doesn’t brown.
Pour in broth and milk: Slowly whisk in your chicken or turkey broth and milk, stirring constantly to avoid lumps. Watch as the mixture thickens into a luscious, creamy filling with chunks of carrot and celery floating in it—comfort food turkey pie vibes, right here.
Add turkey and peas: Fold in your cooked turkey and frozen peas, coating everything in that creamy turkey filling. Simmer for a couple of minutes until the peas are warmed through. Your Turkey Pot Pie with Biscuit Topping just leveled up.
Transfer to a baking dish: Pour the creamy turkey filling into a 9×9 inch baking dish, spreading evenly to get that cozy pot pie base.
Top with biscuit dough: Dollop spoonfuls of your biscuit dough or Bisquick batter all over the filling. Don’t worry about covering every inch perfectly—the dough will spread and bake into a golden, flaky crust.
Bake until golden: Pop the dish into a preheated 400°F oven for about 25-30 minutes. Your Turkey Pot Pie with Biscuit Topping should look golden and gorgeous on top, with bubbling creamy filling peeking underneath.

Pro tip: To get that biscuit crust pot pie feeling just right, brush your biscuit topping with melted butter before baking for an extra golden finish and buttery pop.

Your Questions Answered
