Ingredients for filling: *NOTE: I sprinkled the spices on and did not measure. I recommend sprinkling a little of each over the vegetables until it smells good. :) Directions for Filling: In a large saucepan, melt the butter and saute the onions for about 2-3 minutes. Then add the frozen vegetables and all spices (including salt and pepper). Cook for another 3-5 minutes or until vegetables are tender but not mushy. Add the chicken broth and turkey and bring to a boil, cooking for 2-3 minutes or until heated through. Whisk the half-and-half with the flour until well combined. Then slowly whisk the flour mixture into the vegetable mixture. Bring to a bowl and then reduce to medium, stirring occassionally. Ingredients for Crust: Directions for Crust: Spray four ramekins with butter-flavored spray and push one-quarter of the dough into each ramekin. Then cook for 11-13 minutes at 450F, or until golden brown on the edges and bottoms thoroughly cooked. Use a small spoon or ladel to make a dent in the biscuits for the filling. Then ladel in the filling until just overflowing. Allow 5-10 minutes to cool before eating. This meal was incredibly filling and tasty! Enjoy your leftover turkey in style! |
