To make this recipe you’ll want to use a cast iron skillet. The best thing about cast iron is that it can go directly from the stovetop to the oven with no worries. They’re also great at keeping food warm while serving. 

Lodge Cast Iron is really the go-to brand of cast iron skillet. The brand has been around for over 125 years!

If you don’t have a cast iron skillet, you can use another skillet, but just make sure that the handle is oven safe and won’t melt or warp once you put it in the oven. 

Skillet Turkey Pot Pie with Biscuit Topping

Ingredients:

1 tablespoon olive oil
1 medium onion, diced
1 large yukon gold potato, cubed
2 cups frozen peas and carrots
1 teaspoon garlic powder
¼ teaspoon dried thyme leaves
1 teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon black pepper
3 cups leftover turkey breast, cut into bite-sized pieces
4 tablespoon butter, divided
4 tablespoon all-purpose flour
2 cups chicken broth
12 raw biscuits, frozen, canned, or homemade

How to make this hearty Skillet Turkey Pot Pie with Biscuit Topping:

1. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees.

2. In a large (12 inch) skillet over medium heat, add the olive oil and onion. Cook for about 3 minutes, stirring often, or until softened.

3. To the onion, stir in the potato, peas, and carrots, seasonings, turkey, and 4 tablespoons of butter. Allow the butter to melt.

4. Sprinkle the flour over the contents of the skillet and stir to combine. Cook about 2 minutes before slowly adding the chicken broth, stirring and scraping the bottom. Reduce the heat to low and allow to bubble for one minute as it thickens. Remove from heat. 

5. Cover the skillet with the biscuits.

6. Place the skillet in the oven and bake for 25 to 30 minutes or until the biscuits are golden brown.

7. Allow the turkey pot pie to rest for 5 minutes prior to serving.

How to Reheat Skillet Turkey Pot Pie

To get the best results when reheating I use a two step process. I first microwave for a few minutes – however long it takes your microwave to heat it through – and then as a second step I put it in the oven or toaster oven so that the biscuits can get a bit crispy again.
