Equipment

  • a large skillet
  • 9 by 13-inch casserole dish
  • mixing bowl
  • pastry blender (optional)

Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups chopped, cooked turkey
  • 1 16-ounce bag frozen, mixed vegetables or the equivalent of fresh vegetables such as carrots, mushrooms, onions, celery, green beans, mushrooms or peas
  • 2 10.5-ounce cans cream of chicken soup or 1 can cream of chicken soup with 1 can of cream of mushroom soup
  • cups milk
  • ½ teaspoon dried oregano, basil or thyme
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 3 tablespoons salted butter
  • ¾ cup lowfat buttermilk or 3/4 cup milk combined with 2 teaspoons lemon juice Make mock buttermilk by adding the lemon juice to the milk and letting it sit while you mix the other ingredients. Use instead of buttermilk.

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
  • In a large skillet combine turkey, vegetables, soup, milk and seasonings. (If you are using fresh vegetables, you can cook them in a tablespoon of butter over medium heat for about 10 minutes before adding the turkey, soup and seasonings.)
  • Heat the turkey mixture over medium heat until it comes to a light boil. Simmer for about 10 minutes.
  • Pour into an ungreased 9 by 13-inch baking dish and spread the mixture out evenly in the dish.
  • For the topping, combine the flour, baking powder and salt in a bowl. Cut the butter into pieces, then cut into mixture with a fork or pastry blender until mixture is crumbly.
  • Stir in the buttermilk. Gather the dough into a ball, then break it into chunks. Spread the chunks out over the turkey mixture in the casserole dish.
  • If you prefer, you may roll the dough out into a rectangle and lay it on top of the mixture. If you do this, poke the dough all over with the tines of a fork.
  • Bake in the oven for about 30 minutes, until the crust is browned.
