Canadian Thanksgiving is this weekend, which means that we’ll have plenty of leftover turkey to use up. Rather than just heating it up with some leftover gravy and sides, I like to try and find new ways to use it to create a whole new meal.
- 1 cup chicken broth
- ½ cup finely chopped onion
- ½ cup finely chopped celery
- 1-1/2 cup frozen peas, carrots and beans mix
- 1 cup milk
- 3 tbsp all-purpose flour
- 2 cups cubed cooked turkey or chicken
- ¼ tsp dried sage, crushed
- ¼ tsp dried thyme
- ⅛ tsp black pepper
- salt to taste
- 1-1/4 cups Bisquick baking mix
- ½ cup milk
- 2 tsp dried parsley flakes, crushed
- In a medium saucepan combine broth, onion and celery. Bring to a boil and reduce heat. Cover and simmer for 5 minutes. Add peas and carrots; return to boiling.
- In a small bowl stir the 1 cup of milk into the flour until well mixed. Slowly stir into the vegetable mixture in the saucepan. Cook and stir until thickened and bubbly.
- Stir in the turkey, sage, thyme, pepper and salt. Transfer into an ungreased 2-quart casserole dish.
- In a small bowl combine Bisquick with the ½ cup milk and crushed parsley flakes. Stir with a fork until moistened.
- Spoon into 8 mounds on top of the hot turkey mixture.
- Bake uncovered at 425°F for 20-25 minutes or until biscuits are golden brown.

Transfer into an ungreased 2-quart casserole dish. I did a double batch and made 2 extra half-size casseroles for freezer meals.
In a small bowl combine Bisquick with the 1/2 cup milk and crushed parsley flakes. Stir with a fork until moistened.
For the freezer version, I froze the mixture without the biscuits put on top yet. I wrote instructions for how to make a half batch of biscuits to go on top of the casserole before I heat it up. I would probably thaw this overnight before I would use it and even bake it for a little bit to allow the mixture to heat up before I added the biscuits
