Turkey & Biscuit Pot Pie (Copycat Hello Fresh!)

Serves 2-3

We used to get Hello Fresh meals for a few weeks, and this is one of the meals that we loved. I decided to recreate it at home and it did not disappoint! I made it a little simpler so it does not require stripping fresh thyme (which takes a while). However, if you have fresh thyme or want to use it – go for it! Either way, the flavor is so delicious.

Ingredients

• 1 tbsp olive oil, divided
• 10-12 oz ground turkey (for higher protein, use 12oz)
• 1/2 yellow onion, diced (or slice 6 green onions, white parts only)
• 1/2 cups carrots, diced (about 3 medium)
• 3/4 cup celery, diced (about 1 1/2 stalks)
• 3 cloves garlic
• 1 tsp dried thyme
• 2 tbsp butter
• 2 tbsp flour
• 1 1/4 cup water + 1 tsp chicken Better than Bouillon paste
• 2 tbsp cream cheese
• 4 canned biscuits (I used Pillsbury Grands! Southern Homestyle Buttermilk)
• 2 tbsp milk for brushing biscuits
• Salt & pepper to taste

1. Preheat oven to 425 F.
2. Heat a large oven safe skillet on medium heat (I use a 12 inch cast iron skillet) and add a drizzle of olive oil (about 1/2 tbsp). Once hot, add ground turkey. Break up the meat and cook until it’s all browned and no pink remains. Add a sprinkle of salt and pepper. Remove meat from pan and set aside.
3. In the same pan, add the rest of the olive oil (about 1/2 tbsp) and the onion, carrots, and celery. Cook until the veggies are softened and lightly browned, about 5-7 minutes.
4. Add the garlic and thyme to the veggies and stir well. Cook for only about 30 seconds.
5. Add the 2 tbsp butter to the pan and wait until it melts. Then add the 2 tbsp of flour and stir until it coats all the veggies. Cook for about 1 minute.
6. Slowly add the chicken broth made with the chicken bouillon (can also use store-bought broth). Stir occasionally until the mixture is thickened. This will only take a few minutes.
7. Add the cream cheese and stir until melted and combined. Add back the turkey meat. Season with salt and pepper to taste. You can also add a few tbsp of water if the mixture gets too thick.
8. Pop open your can of biscuits, take 4 biscuits and break them in half so you have 8 thinner biscuit rounds. Spread the filling mixture evenly across the pan and smooth the top. Add biscuit rounds on top to cover the filling.
9. Brush the tops of the biscuits with some milk (optional – could also use melted butter). Bake in the oven for 12-15 minutes until the biscuits are golden brown.
10. Serve and enjoy!!
