Instructions
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
In a large skillet or pan, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the chopped onion, carrots, celery, and garlic. Sauté for about 5-7 minutes, or until the vegetables start to soften.
Stir in the flour and cook for 1-2 minutes, stirring constantly.
Gradually whisk in the turkey or chicken broth and milk, ensuring there are no lumps. Cook, stirring continuously, until the mixture thickens, about 5-7 minutes.
Add the diced turkey, frozen peas, frozen corn, dried thyme, salt, and black pepper. Stir well and simmer for an additional 5 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside.
Prepare the Biscuit Topping
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
Cut in the cold cubed butter using a pastry cutter or your fingers until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
Gradually add the buttermilk, stirring with a fork until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; the dough should be slightly shaggy.
Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface. Fold the dough over itself about 5 times to create layered biscuits. Roll out until about 1 inch thick.
Using a floured biscuit cutter, cut the biscuits without twisting the biscuit cutter. Place the biscuits over the turkey filling.
Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes or until the biscuits are golden brown, and the filling is bubbling.
Remove from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes.
Garnish with chopped fresh parsley if desired.
Serve hot and enjoy your delicious homemade turkey pot pie with biscuits!
