Ingredients for Recipe for Turkey Pot Pie with Bisquick
Nothing fancy here—just hearty turkey, veggies, and that flaky Bisquick magic on top.
| Ingredient | Amount | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Bisquick Baking Mix 🥣 | 1 ½ cups | Original variety for topping |
| Cooked Turkey 🦃 | 2 cups | Shredded or diced leftovers |
| Frozen Mixed Vegetables 🥕 | 2 cups | Peas, carrots, corn, green beans |
| Cream of Chicken Soup 🥫 | 1 can | 10.5 oz size |
| Chicken Broth 🍲 | 1 ¼ cups | Low-sodium preferred |
| Whole Milk 🥛 | ½ cup | For creamy filling |
| Unsalted Butter 🧈 | ¼ cup | Melted for sauce |
| All-Purpose Flour 🌾 | ¼ cup | To thicken filling |
| Yellow Onion 🧅 | 1 whole | Small, finely diced |
| Celery Stalks 🌿 | 2 pieces | Diced for flavor |
| Garlic Cloves 🧄 | 2 cloves | Minced for depth |
| Dried Thyme 🌿 | ½ tsp | For savory warmth |
| Salt 🧂 | ½ tsp | Adjust to taste |
| Black Pepper 🌶️ | ¼ tsp | Freshly ground preferred |
| Egg 🥚 | 1 whole | For Bisquick topping |
The Bisquick is non-negotiable here—original flavor gives that perfect flaky crust. You can find it in the baking aisle of any Walmart or Target. For the turkey, leftovers from a roast work beautifully (that’s what I usually use), but rotisserie chicken from Costco is a great shortcut. The veggies? Frozen mixes save time without sacrificing texture.
No cream of chicken soup? Cream of mushroom works just as well. Short on milk? Half-and-half makes it even richer. Want extra veggies? Add a cup of diced potatoes—just par-cook them first. The flour can be swapped for cornstarch at half the amount if you need gluten-free. And if you’re out of thyme, poultry seasoning covers the same flavor ground.
Assemble and bake right away, or prep the filling ahead—keeps 2 days in the fridge. Leftovers reheat great (the crust softens but still tastes amazing). Freeze for up to 3 months if you want to make a double batch.

Step-by-Step Instructions for Turkey Pot Pie With Bisquick
Here’s everything you need to make this comforting dish with a perfectly flaky topping.
Step 1: Sauté the Aromatics for Flavor Base
Melt the 0.25 cup Unsalted Butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the finely diced Yellow Onion and diced Celery Stalks, cooking for 5-7 minutes until they soften and become translucent.
Stir in the minced Garlic Cloves and 0.5 tsp Dried Thyme, cooking for 30 seconds until fragrant. This builds the flavor foundation for the filling. Watch carefully to prevent the garlic from burning—it should smell sweet, not bitter.
Step 2: Create the Creamy Filling
Sprinkle the 0.25 cup All-Purpose Flour over the vegetables and stir to coat. Cook for 1 minute to remove the raw flour taste. Slowly whisk in the 1 can Cream of Chicken Soup, 1.25 cups Chicken Broth, and 0.5 cup Whole Milk.
Add the 2 cups Cooked Turkey, 2 cups Frozen Mixed Vegetables, 0.5 tsp Salt, and 0.25 tsp Black Pepper. Stir well and simmer for 5-7 minutes until the mixture thickens and the vegetables are tender. The filling should coat the back of a spoon.
Step 3: Top with Bisquick Mixture and Bake
Transfer the filling to a greased 9×13-inch baking dish. In a separate bowl, combine the 1.5 cups Bisquick Baking Mix and 1 whole Egg until a soft dough forms. Drop spoonfuls of the Bisquick mixture evenly over the filling to create a rustic topping.
Bake in a preheated 375°F oven for 25-30 minutes until the topping is golden brown and the filling is bubbly. The Bisquick will rise and form a light, flaky crust that perfectly complements the creamy filling below.
Step 4: Rest and Serve Warm
Remove from the oven and let it rest for 5-10 minutes before serving. This allows the filling to set slightly, making it easier to serve. The crust should be crisp and golden, with steam rising from the creamy turkey and vegetable mixture beneath.
Serve warm in individual bowls. Each portion will have a generous amount of the flaky Bisquick topping and a hearty serving of the rich, comforting filling. This dish tastes even better the next day, as the flavors continue to meld together.
Pro Tips For Making Recipe For Turkey Pot Pie With Bisquick
- Preheat the Oven: I learned this the hard way—crank that oven to 400°F before mixing your Bisquick topping so it bakes evenly and doesn’t end up gummy in the middle.
- Thaw the Veggies: Drain and pat dry your frozen mixed vegetables after thawing, or they’ll release too much water and turn your filling into soup.
- Skip Overmixing: Stir the Bisquick topping just until combined—lumpy is fine, because overworking it makes the crust tough instead of flaky.
- Boost the Flavor: Swap half the chicken broth for turkey stock or add a pinch of poultry seasoning to the filling; sounds small, but it actually changes the outcome.
Wine and Beer Pairings for recipe for turkey pot pie with bisquick
White Wine Pairings
A crisp Chardonnay with bright acidity cuts through the creamy filling. I love Kendall-Jackson Vintner’s Reserve—its apple and citrus notes complement the turkey beautifully. Serve chilled at 45-50°F for best results.
Red Wine Options
For red lovers, a light Pinot Noir works wonderfully. Try Meiomi from California—its cherry and earthy undertones pair perfectly with the savory herbs. Avoid heavy Cabernets that overpower the dish.
Beer Pairings
A malty Amber Ale like Fat Tire enhances the comforting flavors. The caramel notes in the beer match the buttery Bisquick topping. Serve at 45°F in a chilled pint glass. 🍺
Non-Alcoholic Choices
Sparkling apple cider from Martinelli’s offers a festive, alcohol-free pairing. Its sweetness balances the savory filling, while the bubbles cleanse your palate between bites.
Cocktail Option
A classic Tom Collins with its lemony brightness works surprisingly well. The citrus cuts through the richness while the gin’s herbal notes complement the thyme in the filling. 💫

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use fresh vegetables instead of frozen?
Yes! Use 2 cups of fresh diced carrots, peas, and green beans. Par-cook them for 3-4 minutes before adding to the filling to ensure they soften properly.
Why did my Bisquick topping turn out dense?
Overmixing the dough can make it tough. Stir just until combined, and drop spoonfuls lightly onto the filling. Bake at 375°F for 25-30 minutes for best results.
Can I make this ahead of time?
Assemble the dish, cover, and refrigerate for up to 24 hours before baking. Add 5-10 minutes to the baking time if cooking straight from the fridge.
What’s the best way to reheat leftovers?
Cover with foil and warm in a 350°F oven for 15-20 minutes. This keeps the topping crisp. Avoid microwaving, as it can make the crust soggy.
