Turkey Day is almost here, and I am sure that everyone hosting is getting their menu ready, or perhaps you have already decided what is on the menu for your meal. However, have you thought about what you are going to do with all of those delicious leftovers?
Turkey Pot Pie with Cheddar Garlic Biscuits is a perfect way to use some of your leftover turkey. It is warm and heart, and perfect to fuel you on a cold night, or maybe after a little Black Friday shopping.
This pot pie is loaded with all of the good stuff! Tender red potatoes, fresh veggies like onions, celery, carrots, and green beans. Next, I add shredded turkey and cook everything in a rich herb sauce. The finishing touch is a buttery cheddar garlic biscuit that bakes right on top. Another major plus is that this recipe can be made with chicken so there is not need to wait an entire year to make it after the Thursday leftovers have been gobbled-up (see what I did there). This recipe is delightfully easy, and the leftovers of the leftovers are tasty as well!
What are your plans for Thanksgiving? I cook at my parent's house for my family, and my husband's family, and we always have a big delicious spread of goodies.

Ingredients
Cheddar Garlic Biscuits
- ¾ cup flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- ¼ teaspoon baking soda
- 2 tablespoon cold unsalted butter, grated or cut into small pieces

- ½ cup shredded cheddar
- 1 tsp garlic powder
Pot Pie
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 1 cup chopped red potatoes
- ⅓ cup chopped carrots
- 2 stalks celery, diced
- 1 small white onion, diced
- 1 cup kitchen cut green beans (1-inch pieces)
- 3 tablespoon flour
- 1 ½ cups chicken broth
- 1 ½ cups milk
- 1 lb shredded cooked turkey (chicken can be substituted)
- 1 tablespoon fresh thyme

Instructions
Biscuit Dough
- Sift the first 3 ingredients together in a medium bowl.Add the butter and incorporate with a fork until you have a mealy texture.Gently stir in the sour cream, milk, cheddar, and garlic powder. Mix just until it is sticky and dough just comes together. Set aside while you complete the remaining prep work.
Pot Pie
- Pre-heat oven to 375 degrees.
- Saute potatoes, onion, carrot, celery and green beans in olive oil over medium heat in a large rimmed over safe skillet (I prefer to use a round cast iron casserole for this recipe). Cook until onions become translucent and other veggies begin to become tender.
- Add flour and stir to evenly coat all the veggies. Add the turkey and gently stir.
- Add the broth, milk, and thyme. Stir and bring to a light simmer to allow the sauce to slightly thicken. Season with salt and pepper.
- Top the turkey mixture with the biscuit dough making 6 biscuits as pictured. Place in oven and bake uncovered for 30 minutes.

What a great way to use up Thanksgiving leftovers! And I absolutely love that you use herbed biscuits. I haven't tackled making biscuits at home yet, but the first time I do they will be full of yummy goodness

YUM!! Garlic cheddar biscuits make a fantastic topping for the turkey pot pie. This year is the first that we haven't been the hosts for Thanksgiving. We don't have a complete kitchen yet but we're helping out at my son and daughter-in-law's home. Will keep this recipe in case there is any left over turkey.
