Ingredients

The ingredients are:
  • BISCUITS
  • 300 grams Bisquick Baking Mix (or any packaged baking mix, 2 1/2 cups)
  • 3/4 cup milk (I start at 1/2 cup, and then mix and add more if needed)
  • 1/4 cup cheddar cheese (white cheddar, Swiss can be used; the orange cheddar just doesn't work as well)
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1 teaspoon pepper
  • FOR SAUCE
  • 250 grams cooked turkey meat (2 cups, diced - chicken can be substituted)
  • 2 1/4 cups milk (room temp, just let the milk set out a bit to take the chill off)
  • 1/3 cup sherry (more if want)
  • 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 4 tablespoons butter
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • FOR GARNISH
  • 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, minced
We recommend you get your ingredients ready before you start cooking. Once you're ready, here are the steps to making this delicious recipe

How to Make

  • Step 1: Biscuits ... Preheat oven to 425 degrees. In a large bowl, add the baking (Bisquick) mix, milk, thyme, cheese, and pepper and mix well. On a cookie or baking sheet lined with parchment or sprayed with a non-stick spray, drop spoonfuls of the mix on to the pan. I like a couple of tablespoons per biscuit. The batter is thick. Bake 15-18 minutes on the middle shelf until golden brown. I like large biscuits, but you can make them any size you want. As the biscuits bake, make the sauce.

  • Step 2: Sauce ... In medium size saute pan, melt the butter on medium heat, add the turkey and cook until heated through, about 2-3 minutes, stirring often. Then, add the flour - mix, and cook another minute to get rid of that "raw" flour taste. Slowly, add the milk whisking often to combine and bring up to medium high heat - you want the sauce to come to a light boil to thicken. Once you get the desired consistency, add in the sherry, thyme, a pinch of both salt and pepper and stir well. Reduce the heat to low and let it simmer to thicken and develop all the flavors. Note: I like a fairly thick sauce, if you prefer your sauce a bit thicker, add a bit more milk. The consistency is really up to you. Keep the sauce on a simmer until the biscuits are ready. Make sure to check for any additional seasoning before you serve.

  • Step 3: Serving -- Slice the biscuits in half on your plate and serve the creamed turkey on top. Garnish with fresh parsley. Add a nice green vegetable like broccoli rabe which could be roasted right along with the biscuits or a fresh salad. Comfort food doesn't get much better.
