How do you make a dinner of turkey and vegetables really appealing to kids? You turn it into a pie, of course! My version tastes classic, but won’t take much time at all. —Daniela Essman, Perham, Minnesota

Ingredients

1/2 cup mayonnaise
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon chicken bouillon granules
1/8 teaspoon pepper
3/4 cup 2% milk
2 cups frozen mixed vegetables (about 10 ounces), thawed
1-1/2 cups cubed cooked turkey breast
1 tube (4 ounces) refrigerated crescent rolls

Directions

Preheat oven to 375°. In a saucepan, mix first 4 ingredients until smooth; gradually stir in milk. Bring to a boil over medium heat; cook and stir until thickened, about 2 minutes. Add vegetables and turkey; cook and stir until heated through. Transfer to a greased 8-in. square baking pan.
Unroll crescent dough and separate into 8 triangles; arrange over turkey mixture. Bake until casserole is heated through and topping is golden brown, 15-20 minutes.

Turkey Biscuit Potpie: In a bowl, combine turkey breast, thawed mixed vegetables, one 10-3/4-ounce can condensed cream of chicken soup and 1/4 teaspoon dried thyme. Place in a greased 9-in. deep-dish pie plate. Mix 1 cup biscuit/baking mix, 1/2 cup milk and 1 lightly beaten large egg; spoon over top. Bake at 400° for 25-30 minutes.
Turkey Asparagus Casserole: In a bowl, combine turkey breast, one thawed 10-ounce package frozen cut asparagus, one 10-3/4-ounce can condensed cream of chicken soup and 1/4 cup water. Bake at 350° for 30 minutes, topping with one 2.8-ounce can french-fried onions during the last 5 minutes.

This is a very good and simple dinner. We used chicken instead of turkey. It was very rich but even still, four servings is ambitious unless some are children. We doubled the recipe and I'm glad we did.

My husband really liked the crescent rolls on the top. I made the crescents lattice so it made for a nice presentation. I did add a little bit of sage for added flare. I also used olive oil based mayo and fat free milk.

This was delicious. Nice change from a mushroom soup-based casserole or the cheesy ones. I made my own biscuit topping, adding extra butter :-) to approximate the buttery flakiness of the crescent rolls.

This is such a delicious recipe! I used Grands Crescent rolls and didn't cut a hole in it.

Very good! We made some modifications though! Added some cubed cooked potato, some sour cream, Mrs. Dash, garlic pepper, addt'l milk & some cheddar cheese...turned out creamy & delicious! Instead of the crescent rolls w/ used a Cheddar Biscuit Topping from another Simple & Delicious Recipe! This was a hit with everyone!
