Prep: 30 min. Bake: 15 min.

Yield: 9 Servings

30 15 45

Ingredients

1 cup baby carrots, halved lengthwise
1 cup julienned parsnips
1 tablespoon water
2 cups sliced fresh mushrooms
2 tablespoons butter
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon white pepper
4 cups fat-free milk
3 cups diced cooked turkey breast
1/2 cup frozen peas, thawed
BISCUITS:
1 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 cup cake flour
3/4 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon baking soda
1 egg
1/2 cup buttermilk
2 tablespoons butter, melted

Directions

In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the carrots, parsnips and water; cover and microwave on high for 4-5 minutes or until tender. Drain and set aside.
In a large nonstick skillet, saute mushrooms in butter until tender. Combine the flour, salt, white pepper and milk until smooth; stir into mushrooms. Bring to a boil; cook and stir for 1-2 minutes or until thickened. Stir in the carrots, parsnips, turkey and peas. Transfer to a 13-in. x 9-in. baking dish coated with cooking spray.
For biscuits, in a bowl, combine the flours, baking powder, salt and baking soda. Combine the egg, buttermilk and butter; stir into dry ingredients until a soft dough forms. Drop dough into nine mounds onto turkey mixture.
Bake at 425° for 15-18 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in biscuits comes out clean and biscuits are golden brown. Yield: 9 servings.

I've made this twice now, and each time seems more flavorful. In place of cake flour I use all-purpose flour, sifting 3 times before making the biscuits.
