Ingredients
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- ¾ cup onion, diced
- 1 ¼ cups carrots, diced
- ¾ cup celery, sliced
- 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 3 cups chicken broth
- 2 ½ cups chopped turkey, white or dark meat
- 1 ¼ cups frozen peas
- salt and pepper to taste
Topping
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- ¼ teaspoon kosher salt
- 1 large egg
- ⅓ cup whole milk
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400°F.
- In a large pot over medium heat, heat the oil until shimmering. Saute the onion, carrots, and celery until softened.
- Stir in the flour until no lumps remain. Add in about ¼ cup of broth and stir until thick sauce forms. Add the remaining broth and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to a simmer and allow to simmer until thickened, about 10 minutes.
- Remove from the heat and stir in the turkey and peas. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Pour into an 8x11-inch baking pan and set aside.
- Make the topping by whisking together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
- In a separate small bowl, beat together the egg and milk. Pour into the flour and stir to combine. It should be a sticky dough.
- Drop dough of about 2 to 3 tablespoons each on top of the turkey mixture. Bake for 17-19 minutes, until the topping is golden brown.
