As the casserole bakes, the kitchen fills with the most incredible aroma. The biscuits turn golden brown and crispy, while the creamy filling bubbles underneath. I can’t help but feel a sense of pride every time I pull that dish out of the oven. After letting it rest for a few minutes, I serve the Turkey Biscuit Casserole with a side salad.

Chef’s Notes- Turkey Biscuit Casserole

• Prepping the Biscuits: For an extra crispy biscuit topping, brush the tops of the biscuits with a little melted butter before baking. This will help them turn golden brown and add a rich flavor.
• Mixing Up the Flavors: Feel free to experiment with different herbs and spices to match your taste preferences. Adding a pinch of garlic powder or a dash of paprika can enhance the overall flavor profile.
• Making Ahead: This casserole can be prepared in advance and stored in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours before baking. Just assemble it as directed, cover with plastic wrap or foil, and refrigerate. When ready to bake, remove from the fridge and add a few extra minutes to the cooking time.
• Freezing Tips: You can freeze the assembled casserole before baking. Wrap it tightly in foil or plastic wrap and freeze for up to 3 months. When ready to cook, thaw in the refrigerator overnight and bake as directed, adding a bit more time if needed.
• Vegetable Variations: To add more variety or to use up what you have on hand, try incorporating different vegetables such as corn, green beans, or chopped spinach. Just ensure that the vegetables are chopped into bite-sized pieces for even cooking.

FAQs- Turkey Biscuit Casserole

Can I use a different type of soup?

Yes, you can substitute the cream of mushroom soup with cream of celery, cream of chicken, or any other cream-based soup you prefer. Each will give a slightly different flavor.

Can I use homemade biscuit dough instead of refrigerated biscuits?

Absolutely! If you prefer to make your own biscuit dough, simply use your favorite recipe and cut the dough into small pieces before placing it on top of the casserole.

How do I ensure the biscuits are cooked through?

Make sure the biscuits are spaced evenly on top of the casserole. If they are too close together, they might not cook evenly. Also, if the biscuits are still doughy after the suggested baking time, continue baking for a few more minutes until they are golden brown and fully cooked.

Can I make this casserole without meat?

Yes, you can omit the meat and increase the amount of vegetables or add some beans for extra protein. This will create a delicious vegetarian version of the casserole.

How can I make this dish dairy-free?

Substitute the whole milk with almond milk or another plant-based milk, and use a dairy-free cream of soup. Make sure the biscuits are also dairy-free or use a homemade recipe that fits your dietary needs.
