CHICKEN POTPIE, only I used turkey!~Foodie Tuesday:>~

Rate: 20 Flag

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

DSCN1041 

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!

Dang, not only did the recipe sound good when I read it, but those pictures just put me away....I know what I'm having for dinner now!
Perfect timing, my dad is coming out for a month and he loves chicken pot pie and I didn't have a clue how to make one until now, thanks.
Torman~you gotta have it, and soon!
sradi,
your Pop will LOVE it!
ps
did you like my "turkey" icon at the bottom?
This looks like the perfect alternative to all of those chicken pot pies sold by Costco that, unfortunately, I have succumbed to over the years! I have had good luck making biscuits like you mention in your recipe whenever I cook an Irish Lamp Stew recipe, so I guess I am halfway there in my limited culinary skills towards making this delicious looking meal.
Equalizer,
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!
Really, anything with a biscuit topping wins in my world.
Sounds yummy--great for a chilly fall day!
OK, now I'm salivating. What do you suggest I do with the saliva?
what ever you do, John, DON'T spit it on your computer screen!
Oh oh oh! That sounds so wonderful and hearty. We have cold scheduled for October. I can't wait.
The finished product looked great. If it's as good as it looks, I'm inviting myself for supper!!
Wow, this looks much better than Stauffers. I'm going to try it tonight. Wish me luck. (I'm a good cook, but not so much with recipes...)
Perfect cold-weather food for the upcoming season.
oh wow, this looks outstanding! and simple. thank your for sharing this,s weetheart!!! reminds me of something i loved from my long ago childhood. love love love and gratitude
THIS IS DEFINITELY A WINTER MEAL!!!!!!!!! LOVE IT........RATED!
Love the pictures. My daughter is going to be so impressed when she sees me make this!
Yum -- wish I could come over. I might even try that when I feel ambitious. I have a son who bicycles ALOT and he could really put that away.
Yummmmeeeee! This is what I call comfort food for the season. My daughter will be thanking you! :)

Keep the recipes coming!
I wish there were a way to sample food online. Looks yummie.
Thank you all for the great comments and support!
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...
loveya,

Great recipe -- I've made something similar before and the biscuits on top are the best. Dang, it's 9:30 and I've nibbled on ginger snaps and a tangelo -- I could have a chicken pot pie!
I'm gonna' need company to cook this one! It looks great...maybe this weekend. Rated
Just use Bisquick. It is just as good and it wonderful on beef stew and pork and sauerkraut.
Dear Ralph, Skeletnwmn, 717Judie,
a BIG thank you for your comments and have a great Autumn!

O/E, "The Spud Country Chef", I think I like that!

Your recipe looks and sounds wonderful. The weather is getting cooler here and it is soup time.
Thanks for sharing.
I'm just gonna 'hit' the sack!
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!
Carly and Art,
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?
OK Sister...first I dont know what marjoram is...but your recipes always look amazing, simple, and sooooo good! Im actually going to try this one. Bought zucchini to try your other recipe. We need a new movie...forget Julie and Julia...we need Debbs4 and her fabulous family recipes! I mean it....with little encouraging tidbits of life lessons with each recipe. Im claiming it for you, girl or whatever you desire. Cheers to you and your well fed family. I will try it! :)
Dear Sister Stephie,
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!

And, Marjoram is an herb, I think used in french cooking. However, you could easily switch it out and use your favorite spice or herb. :)
