2cupsLeftover Turkey; cubed
2cupsChicken or Turkey Stock
1tablespoonOlive Oil
1Sweet Red Pepper; diced
1can(4-oz.) Mushroom Slices
2cupsFresh or frozen Corn
1cupButtermilk
tablespoonCornstarch
Salt and Black Pepper
2cupsAll-purpose Flour
2teaspoonsBaking Powder
¼teaspoonBaking Soda
4teaspoonsButter or Margarine

Directions

Pre-heat the oven to 400-F degrees and lightly butter a 9-inch by 13-inch baking dish; set aside.

Bring the chicken or turkey stock to a boil in a large saucepan over medium-high heat. Continue to simmer the stock about 8 minutes more, or until the original volume is reduced to 1½ cups.

Meanwhile, warm the olive oil in a large skillet over moderate heat, and sauté the red pepper and mushroom slices 3 to 4 minutes, until slightly soft. Remove from the heat and stir in the corn kernels and the turkey.

In a small bowl, blend together ¼ cup of the buttermilk with the cornstarch until smooth. Stir into the chicken stock until it thickens slightly. Add the sauce to the turkey and vegetables. Add about ⅛ teaspoon each salt and pepper, and spoon the mixture into the prepared baking dish.

To prepare the biscuit topping, sift the flour into a large bowl with the baking powder, baking soda, and ¼ teaspoon of salt. Rub the margarine with your fingers until coarse crumbs form. Stir in ¾ cup of buttermilk and blend just until the mixture forms a soft dough.

On a lightly floured board, roll out the dough to about ½ inch thick.

Using a 3-inch cookie cutter, cut out 8 rounds from the dough.

Place a single layer of biscuit dough rounds on top of the meat and vegetables in the baking dish.

Bake in the oven 15 to 20 minutes, until the biscuits are browned and the turkey mixture is hot. Serve warm.
