Steps:
- In a large heavy-bottomed stock pot or Dutch oven set over medium heat, combine the onion, carrots, celery, parsnip, thyme, butter, 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper.
- Stir until the butter melts then cover and cook, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are almost tender, 10 to 15 minutes.
- Add the mushrooms and cook, uncovered, stirring, until tender, 5 to 7 minutes.
- Sprinkle the vegetables with the flour and cook, stirring constantly, for 2 minutes. Stir in the stock, scraping up any brown bits, and bring it to a boil, stirring. Simmer the mixture until slightly thickened, about 3 minutes.
- Stir in the turkey and peas. Taste and season the mixture with salt and pepper to taste.
- Transfer the filling to a 13x9" baking dish. (See Kelly's Notes.)
- Preheat the oven to 400ºF.
- In a medium bowl, sift together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt and pepper. Add the cheeses and toss to coat.
- Blend in the butter with your fingertips until the mixture resembles wet sand.
- Add the buttermilk and stir just until a dough forms. Drop the biscuit dough onto the pot pie filling in 8 large mounds, leaving spaces between biscuits.
- Bake the pot pie until the biscuits are puffed and golden brown and the filling is bubbling, 35 to 40 minutes. Let stand 10 minutes before serving.
- Place the baking dish on a sheet tray before baking in the event any filling spills over.
- The filling and biscuit dough can be made one day in advance and stored separately. Reheat the filling over low heat just before topping with biscuit dough and baking.
- The fastest way to chicken pot pie is to make the most of a store-bought rotisserie chicken.

Steps:
- To make the filling: In a large (14-inch) ovenproof skillet, melt the butter and olive oil over medium heat. Add the bell pepper, onion, carrot, and garlic and saute until soft.
- Stir in the peas, corn and thyme. Sprinkle the flour over the vegetables and then add the chicken broth and cream. Stir to distribute the flour and the liquids. Simmer until the sauce thickens, about 10 minutes. Stir in the turkey and add salt and pepper to taste. Set the mixture aside to cool slightly.
- To make the biscuit top crust: In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, salt, sugar, and baking powder. Whisk for thirty seconds to combine and evenly distribute the leavening. Add the shortening and butter and toss to coat the fat a bit with the flour. Using your fingertips, gently work the fats into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse cornmeal with some pea-size chunks of fat.
- In a small bowl, whisk together the buttermilk and egg, and add this to the flour mixture. Stir together with a wooden spoon. Then, gently work through the mixture with your hands to separate any wet patches and bring the dough together.
- Turn the dough out onto a floured work surface, sprinkle with the minced thyme and knead gently until it just holds together. Pat it into a rough 1/2-inch-tall disk and cut it into 7 biscuits using a 3-inch round biscuit cutter. (Bake off the scraps and use for croutons in the Broccoli Salad recipe.)
- To assemble: Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Top the filling in the skillet with the biscuit rounds. Brush the tops with egg wash and sprinkle them with sea salt.
- Bake the potpie for 25 to 30 minutes, until the filling is bubbling and the biscuits are golden brown.

TURKEY POTPIE WITH CHEDDAR BISCUIT CRUST
From Gourmet 2007. The finished product seems too juicy but the biscuits quickly absorb. This can be used with rotisserie chicken too. I used a 13 x 9 pan. So delicious.

TURKEY POT PIE WITH CHEDDAR BISCUIT CRUST
From Gourmet Magazine, November 2007, page 208. Made this for lunch New Year's Day and it was a hit. Substitute chicken if you wish. If you don't feel like messing with the vegetables, use a thawed bag of frozen stew veggies or mixed veggies. Works great. I am not including the stock recipe from the magazine as it is a standard carcass/skin one that doesn't need explanation. I cut the recipe in half and cooked it in an 11-inch enameled cast iron frying pan. Works great. If you are feeling adventurous, sub. chunks of beef, beef stock and some red wine, maybe some garlic and a shot of Worcestershire and make a beef pot pie. If you try it, let me know how it turns out.

Tips:

- Use a good quality cheddar cheese for the biscuit crust. This will make a big difference in the flavor of the potpie.
- If you don't have time to make the biscuit crust, you can use a store-bought pie crust instead.
- Serve the potpie with a side of mashed potatoes or rice.
