Description

This comforting Holiday Turkey & Biscuits casserole transforms leftover turkey into a hearty, oven-baked meal that feels like a warm hug. The creamy sauce, enriched with chicken broth and milk, melds perfectly with tender red bell peppers and fresh spinach. Topped with homemade garlic biscuits that puff up golden brown against the savory filling, this dish offers a satisfying contrast of textures and flavors. It is an ideal way to use up holiday leftovers while creating something entirely new and delicious. Simple to assemble yet impressive enough for guests, it brings home-style warmth to any table.

Ingredients

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 400F (204C).
  2. Heat butter in a 2-quart oven-safe casserole dish in the oven until melted.
  3. Remove casserole from oven. Stir in flour, dried basil, salt, pepper, chicken broth, milk, red bell peppers, and cooked turkey until well combined.
  4. Return casserole to oven and bake for 20 minutes, stirring once halfway through, until the sauce is slightly thickened.
  5. Remove from oven and stir in spinach (or any additional greens if desired).
  6. While sauce bakes, prepare biscuit dough: Cut 1/3 cup butter into 1 1/2 cups flour, 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder, and 1 teaspoon garlic salt using a pastry blender until mixture resembles small peas.
  7. Stir in just enough milk (about 1/2 cup) until the dough forms a ball.
  8. Knead dough on a lightly floured surface 5-7 times, then roll or pat out to 1/2-inch thickness.
  9. Cut dough into 2-inch rounds using a floured cutter.
  10. Place biscuits around the edge of the casserole, overlapping them slightly to fit.
  11. Increase oven temperature to 425F (218C).
  12. Bake for 15-20 minutes longer, or until biscuits are golden brown and sauce is bubbly.
