Creamy Turkey and Biscuits Recipe

This was our "mosh posh" meal last night.....I substituted ground turkey for the cubed turkey because that's what I had on hand; it worked out just fine. Everyone in my family liked it, so it's a keeper! Always a fan of Taste of Home Cookbooks...

Creamy Turkey and Biscuits

1/3 cup chopped green pepper
1/3 cup chopped onion
3 tbsp butter or margarine
1/4 cup biscuit/baking mix (Bisquick)
1 1/2 cups milk
1 can cream of mushroom soup, undiluted
2 cups cubed cooked turkey (or ground turkey)
1 cup frozen peas
1 tube refrigerated buttermilk biscuits
3/4 cup shredded cheddar cheese

If you don't already have cooked turkey, start by doing that...quick and easy way is in a fryin' pan until no longer pink/juices are clear. Set aside. In a large saucepan, saute green pepper and onion in butter until tender. Stir in biscuit mix until blended (makes a sort of rue). Gradually add milk and soup; stir until blended. Bring to a boil; cook and stir for 2 min. Stir in turkey and peas. Transfer to a greased 13x9x2 baking dish. Separate biscuits and arrange over the top. Sprinkle with cheese. Bake, uncovered, at 425 for 17-20 min. or until golden brown. Yield: 4-6 servings

Cornbread Recipes

Cornbread

1 cup all purpose flour
1 cup cornmeal
4 tbsp sugar
1 tbsp baking powder
1/2 tsp salt
2 beaten eggs
1 cup fat free milk
2 tbsp honey
2 tbsp oil

Grease bottom of a 9x9x2 square baking dish; set aside. In a medium size bowl stir together the dry ingredients; then add in the rest of the moist ingredients. Mix well but not too much! Poor batter into prepared baking dish. Bake, uncovered, @ 425 for 20 min. or until a toothpick inserted near the middle comes out clean. Cool on a wire rack. Makes 9 servings.

Confetti Cornbread

Add : 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
          1/4 cup shredded carrot
          1/4 cup shredded zucchini
Prepare batter as shown above for regular cornbread, except also add in the cheddar cheese, carrot and zucchini to the batter before baking.


Personal Note: The recipe for the cornbread is my own personal recipe that I developed after many attempts in tweaking the Better Homes & Gardens recipe. I perfected it to our liking a handful of years ago and my family really enjoys it...it's moist and has a mildly sweet flavor.
