Filling
1 lb ground turkey
1 can chicken broth (14 oz)
3 T butter
3 T flour
2 carrots -- chopped (approx 1/2
1 medium onion -- chopped
2 stalks celery -- chopped
1/2 c frozen peas
black pepper
1 or more:thyme, tarragon,oregano
Biscuit crust
2 1/4 c flour
2 1/2 t baking powder
4 T butter
1 c milk

Mix the baking powder with the 2 1/4 c of flour. Using your fingers, rub
the butter into the flour mixture until there are uniform granules of
butter/flour chunks (< 3 mm or so). Stir in the milk. Knead the mixture
with your hands until it holds together in a sticky mass. Set aside. Saute
the turkey until almost completely cooked. Remove from the pan. Melt 1 T
of butter and saute the vegetables (except the peas) until soft. Remove
from the pan. Melt remaining 2 T of butter, stir in the flour, and cook to
form a roux. Add the broth and seasonings, cooking until thickened. Put
the turkey, vegetable mixture, and the peas in the bottom of a baking dish.
Pour
the sauce over the filling. Cover the filling with chunks of the biscuit
dough. It's ok if the filling is not completely covered. Bake at 450 deg
for 15 min, or until crust is firm and somewhat brown.

NOTES : NOTES : (Note: The amount of crust will depend on the type of baking
dish you use. For a wide and shallow pan, make the full amount. For a dish
that is deep with a
relatively narrow diameter, cut the crust recipe in half
