Directions
-
Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
-
Place the 1/4 cup of butter in a 2-quart casserole dish and place it in the oven until melted, about 5 minutes.
-
Remove the casserole from the oven. Stir in the flour, dried basil, salt, pepper, chicken broth, 2/3 cup milk, red bell peppers, and mushrooms.
-
Return the casserole to the oven and bake for 20 minutes, stirring once halfway through, until the sauce is slightly thickened.
-
Remove from oven and stir in the spinach and cut-up cooked turkey.
-
While the sauce bakes, prepare the biscuits: In a bowl, cut the 1/3 cup butter into the flour, baking powder, and garlic salt using a pastry blender until the mixture resembles small peas.
-
Stir in just enough of the 1/2 cup milk until a dough ball forms.
-
Turn dough onto a lightly floured surface and knead 5 to 7 times.
-
Roll or pat the dough out to 1/2-inch thickness. Cut with a floured 2-inch round cutter.
-
Arrange the biscuit dough pieces around the edge of the casserole, overlapping them slightly to fit.
-
Increase oven temperature to 425°F (220°C).
-
Bake for 15 to 20 minutes longer, or until the biscuits are golden brown and the filling is bubbly.
