Turkey Biscuit Pie
Yield: 6 to 8 servings
Ingredients
For the filling:
Extra-virgin olive oil, for drizzling
2 large onions (1 cut into wedges, 1 diced)
2 1/2-pound skin-on boneless turkey breast half
3 thyme sprigs, plus 2 teaspoons chopped thyme
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
4 tablespoons unsalted butter
2 red potatoes diced
2 stalks celery, chopped
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
2 cups chicken broth
1/2 cup milk
1 cup frozen peas
For the topping:
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 cup cornmeal
2 tablespoons chopped fresh chives
2 teaspoons baking powder
2 teaspoons sugar
Kosher salt
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
Freshly ground pepper
6 tablespoons cold unsalted butter, cubed
3/4 to 1 cup buttermilk
Directions Make the filling: Preheat the oven to 375 degrees
F and drizzle a baking dish with olive oil. Arrange the onion wedges in the
dish and set the turkey breast on top. Add the thyme sprigs, season the turkey
generously with salt and pepper and drizzle with olive oil. Roast until a
thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the turkey registers 165 degrees
F, about 45 minutes. Let cool, then shred, discarding the skin. (You should
have about 4 cups meat.)
Melt the butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the
diced onion, diced potato, celery and thyme, 1/2 teaspoon salt and a few grinds
of pepper. Cook, stirring, until the vegetables are tender, about 7 minutes. Sprinkle
flour over the vegetables. Cook, stirring, until the flour is toasted, about 2
minutes. Whisk in the broth, milk and shredded turkey and bring to a boil.
Reduce the heat to medium low and simmer until slightly thickened, about 3
minutes. Remove from the heat and season with salt and pepper.
Make the topping: Whisk the flour, cornmeal, chives, baking
powder, sugar, 3/4 teaspoon salt, the baking soda and a few grinds of pepper in
a medium bowl. Using a pastry blender or your fingers, cut the butter into the
flour mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs. Add 3/4 cup buttermilk and stir
until the dough comes together. Stir in up to 1/4 cup more buttermilk, a little
at a time, if the dough feels dry.
Stir the peas into the turkey filling. Using a spoon, drop mounds
of batter on top. Transfer the skillet to the oven and bake until the topping
is puffed and golden, about 25 minutes. Let stand 5 minutes before serving.
