Turkey Biscuit Pot-Pie

I have been receiving emails from Betty Crocker for quite some time now. At the end of the year, they always send me an email wanting to know if I would like a free calendar with a new recipe for each month. Well, who wouldn't like a free calendar! This year, when I received my calendar, this was the picture I was awarded with for January. This is Turkey-Biscuit Pot Pie. Now I love a good pot pie just like the next guy, but this one is special. The biscuits around the outside aren't just regular biscuits. They have bacon and cheddar cheese in them! I am a firm believer that bacon makes everything better. So this Sunday, I am making this for dinner. Here is the recipe for all of you that would like to make it also.

INGREDIENTS
Filling
2 1/2 cups baby-cut carrots (12 oz.)
2 cups cut-up fresh broccoli
3 tablespoons butter or margarine
1/2 cup chopped onion (1 medium)
3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
2 cups chicken broth
1 tablespoon chopped fresh or 1 teaspoon dried sage leaves
2 cups cubed cooked turkey

Biscuits
4 slices bacon
1 cup Bisquick mix
1/2 cup milk
1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese (2 oz.)

Directions
1. Heat oven to 400 degrees F. In 2-quart saucepan, heat 1 cup water to boiling. Add carrots and broccoli; cook about 4 minutes or until carrots and broccoli are crisp-tender. Drain.
2. Meanwhile, in 3-quart saucepan, melt butter over medium heat. Add onion; cook about 2 minutes, stirring occasionally, until tender. Beat in flour with wire whisk. Gradually beat in broth and sage. Reduce heat to medium-low; cook about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until sauce thickens. Stir carrots, broccoli and turkey into sauce. Spoon turkey mixture into ungreased 2-quart casserole.
3. Place bacon on microwavable plate; cover with paper towel. Microwave on High 4 to 6 minutes or until crisp. Crumble bacon; place in medium bowl. Add remaining biscuit ingredients; stir just until blended. Spoon biscuit batter around edge of turkey mixture.
4. Bake 25 to 30 minutes or until biscuit crust is golden brown.

ENJOY!!!
