This is an amazingly simple and homey dinner, one that everyone will love, even the most sophisticated of the bunch.
Here goes:
Filling:
3/4 lb. cooked turkey breast, cut into bite-sized pieces
1 large onion, chopped
4 medium potatoes, baked and then cut into chunks
1 1/2 teaspoons marjoram
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1 1/2 Tablespoons cornstarch, or flour
2 Tablespoons cooking oil
2 ribs celery, thinly sliced
4 medium carrots, sliced
1 clove garlic, minced
8 cups chicken broth
1 Bay leaf
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1/2 cup water
Directions:
To prepare filling: Heat 1 Tablespoon of the oil in a large Dutch oven over medium high heat. Add celery, carrots and onion. Cook, stirring occasionally, until lightly brown, about 3-5 minutes. Add garlic, and turkey. Stir in potatoes, broth, marjoram, bay leaf, salt and pepper. Bring to a boil,

then reduce heat and simmer 20 minutes or until vegetables are tender. Remove Bay leaf and place filling in a buttered baking dish.
To prepare biscuits: While filling simmers, in large bowl, combine:
2 cups flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
Blend with fork. Add:
1/4 cup oil
1 cup milk
Mix til just incorporated. Set aside.
In a small bowl, dissolve the cornstarch or flour in the water to make a smooth paste. Stir this mixture into simmering filling and cook 2-3 minutes until thickened.
Drop biscuit mix by tablespoons over top of filling.
Place in a 350 degree oven for about 20 minutes, to heat through. Check to make sure biscuits are getting browned but also that they are cooked through. Lift a biscuit, careful now!, with a fork to make sure it is dry underneath and not gooey.
If you need to cook longer to get biscuits done, you may cover the dish with foil so it doesn't get too browned.
Hope you try this one out~ It was enjoyed by all at our table last night!

your Pop will LOVE it!
ps
did you like my "turkey" icon at the bottom?
if you can make a decent biscuit already, then you should make this. You can even pick up an already cooked deli chicken and use that, how easy!
Keep the recipes coming!
It is a wonderful dish that is so filling and pretty healthy, too.
I wish I could send you a scoop or invite you all over, it would be fun!
Let me know if you're ever out this way...

Thanks for sharing.
I agree. It's soup daze weather!
I 'm sleepy.
I think of:`Let's flops pretend."
It's a pleasant song:`Good night!
Pot pies at pot lucks? Ah, Yippee!
It is fall weather here in North Idaho, one day it was 80 the next in the 50's, now the 40's. Brrr! I know it will get colder, but I want something hot to eat, like soup or this casserole dish. Y'all come over for supper, okay?! And, don't bring any okra, k?
You are a JOY! I hope that your exuberance blesses others as it does me. Thanks for always being so encouraging.
Yes, you must try this recipe. I tell you there was SILENCE at the table as we all ate, it was that good. Then, "Can I have seconds?", then, more silence. Isn't it simple, good food and happy family go together so well.
love you, girl!
