Turkey Pot Pie

We've been having a serious cold snap here, so I figured some warm comfort food is just the thing to warm me up from the inside. This is a delicious dish and you can use up your leftover turkey from Christmas!


2 tbsps unsalted butter
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 small onion, diced
3 carrots, peeled & diced
2 stalks of celery, diced
1/3 cups all-purpose flour
2 cups chicken broth
1 1/2 cups milk
1/2 tsp thyme
salt & pepper to taste
3 1/2 cups shredded turkey (or chicken)
1/2 cup frozen corn or peas (whatever you have on hand)
1 tube of refrigerated biscuits

Melt the butter in a large frying pan over medium high heat. Add garlic, onion, carrots and celery and cook, stirring occasionally, until tender. Stir the flour into the veggie mix until veggies are coated. Gradually stir in the chicken broth, milk and thyme. Stir constantly until thickened, about 1-2 minutes. Stir in the chicken and corn. Season with salt & pepper.

Pour this mixture into a greased 9x13 dish and bake 15 minutes at 400F. Then lay the refrigerated biscuits on top of the chicken mixture. Bake for another 15-17 minutes until the biscuits tops are golden brown. Let sit 5 minutes and then enjoy!

**Note: I took the easy way and used refrigerated biscuits. You could also make your own biscuits from scratch. **
