Creamed Turkey With Sweet Potato Biscuits Recipes

CREAMED TURKEY WITH SWEET POTATO BISCUITS

Steps:

• Heat oven to 400 degrees. In a Dutch oven or heavy-bottomed skillet over medium heat, cook sausage meat, breaking it into small crumbly pieces as it browns. Pour off any rendered fat. Add butter and diced onion and cook, stirring, until onion is softened, 3 to 4 minutes. Sprinkle mixture with flour and stir to combine.
• Add milk 1/2 cup at a time, stirring vigilantly as the sauce thickens. Reduce heat if sauce is bubbling too rapidly. Whisk in gravy or broth and season with salt, pepper and cayenne. Fold in turkey meat and heat through. Keep warm.
• Make the biscuit dough: Combine flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt in a mixing bowl. Add butter and work it into the dry mixture with fingers until mixture resembles wet sand. Beat sweet potato and buttermilk together and stir into flour mixture. Mix briefly just enough to incorporate to make a soft dough.
• Transfer dough to a work surface and dust lightly with flour. Knead for 1 minute, then pat or roll dough to a 1 1/2-inch thickness. Use a floured biscuit cutter or water glass to cut 10 to 12 rounds from the dough. (Or simply use a sharp knife to cut dough into 2-inch squares or diamonds.) Place on a parchment-lined baking sheet and bake for 10 to 12 minutes until golden.
• To serve, split a warm biscuit and spoon saucy turkey over it.

BEST CREAMED TURKEY WITH THYME BISCUITS

Steps:

• Sauce -- It in medium size pot, melt the butter and add the chicken until well heated through, 5 or so minutes on medium heat. Add the flour and mix to combine well. Add the milk, sherry, thyme, salt and pepper and stir until well mixed and cook on medium until the sauce becomes thick. Reduce to low while you make the biscuits.
• Note: if you like the sauce thicker go a bit shy of the milk or just the opposite you want it thinner or more sauce -- just add more milk.
• Biscuits -- Preheat oven to 425 degrees. In a large bowl, add the bisquick, milk, thyme, cheddar and pepper and mix well. On a cookie or baking sheets lined with parchment or sprayed with pam drop spoonfuls of the mix on the pan. I like a couple of spoonfuls per biscuit. Bake for 15-18 minutes until golden brown.
• Serving -- Slice in half on your plate and serve the creamed turkey on top. Garnish with fresh parsley. Serve this with a nice green vegetable like broccoli rabe which could be roasted right along with the biscuits. Comfort food doesn't get much better.
