This Turkey Pot Pie is a warm and hearty casserole that brings together tender turkey, creamy sauce, and a cheddar biscuit topping. It's a comforting meal that works any night of the week.
This dish reminds me of the cozy fall dinners I made when my boys were young, especially after the holidays when leftover turkey was always in the fridge. If you enjoy my Chicken Crescent Rolls or Easy Chicken Potpie, this one will fit right in. I use turkey pot pie here the same way I always have. Simple, homemade, and family ready.

Key Ingredients for Turkey Pot Pie with Biscuits
See the recipe card below for a full list of ingredients and instructions.
- Cooked turkey breast: chopped into small pieces for an even, hearty filling.
- Frozen mixed vegetables: classic pot pie veggies that save time and work.
- Turkey gravy: adds depth and ties the whole filling together.
- Condensed cream of chicken soup: creates a creamy base for the casserole.
- Cheddar cheese: gives the drop biscuits a savory, golden top.
- Heavy cream and eggs: keep the biscuits tender and rich.
Ingredient Substitutions
- Chicken works just as well in place of turkey.
- Heavy cream can be swapped for half and half.
- Cheddar cheese can be exchanged with Colby Jack or mozzarella.
Variations on Turkey Pot Pie
- Turkey Pot Pie with Puff Pastry: for a golden flaky top instead of biscuits.
- Turkey Biscuit Casserole with Bacon: add cooked crumbled bacon to the filling.
- Veggie-Loaded Turkey Pot Pie: stir in extra mushrooms, spinach, or peas.
Tips for the Best Cheddar Drop Biscuits
- Cold dairy matters: keep eggs and cream cold so the biscuits rise higher.
- Don't overmix: stir until just moistened for tender biscuits.
- Bake until golden: a deep golden top gives the biscuit layer the best texture.
How to Store and Reheat
Refrigerate leftovers in an airtight container for up to 4 days. Reheat in the oven at 325°F until hot for the best biscuit texture. The microwave works, but softens the topping.

Brianne says
Can I just use the refrigerated pillsbury biscuits I have and maybe cut them in half and set on top of the pot pie mixture?
Shelby says
Hi Brianne, yes, you can do that! Enjoy!
Whitney says
What/how big is a can of almond milk? I've never seen it in cans, but in varying size paper cartons, the smallest of which is 32oz, I believe.
Shelby says
Hi Whitney, I should have been more specific. I used half a can of almond milk (I poured almond milk into the half of the soup can)so approximately 5 ounces.
Phil says
OMG. The crust was light and delish. I impressed my wife, who already thinks I can cook??? Thx.
Shelby says
So glad this turned out so well for you! I hope you keep cooking 🙂 Thank you for letting me know!

This sounds delicious! I'm so happy you have finally found a new home. About 17 years ago, we began a search for either an existing home, or a place where we might find a wooded lot on which to build our 'dream home'. At the time, we were living in Franklin Pk., here in IL and had been there for almost 39 years. After a couple of years of searching high and low, I discovered a small town, west of Naperville, called Yorkville. When I say discovered, that's exactly what I mean, never having heard of it before. I found a lot in a very small subdivision of 21 lots, with only one existing home at the time. We were fortunate in finding a small local builder, who built us a home, that today, we still live in and love. Hopefully, this new home will be all you desire and will love it as much as we do ours. I wish you and Grunmpy, the happiest of Holidays and a wonderful 2014.
