  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon salt, plus additional for filling
  • 1 1/2 cups heavy cream
  • 8 ounces (2 cups) Emmi Le Gruyère cheese, shredded and divided
  • 6 tablespoons butter, divided
  • 8 ounces cremini mushrooms, sliced
  • Black pepper
  • 1 large yellow onion, chopped
  • 3 carrots, peeled and sliced into 1/8-inch thick rounds (about 1 cup)
  • 3 cups chicken stock
  • 2 cups cooked turkey meat, shredded
  • 1/2 bunch kale, stems removed and leaves chopped

Method

  1. Heat oven to 400F. Line a sheet pan with parchment paper; set aside.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder and 1 teaspoon salt. Add heavy cream and stir until just combined.
  3. Turn dough out on floured work surface. Have 1 cup shredded Gruyère on hand. Knead 8 times, sprinkling shredded Gruyère over top each time before folding. Press out into a 10-inch square. Cut dough into squares or circles (about 2 inches in diameter). Transfer to prepared sheet pan.
  4. Melt 2 tablespoons butter. Brush over tops of biscuits. Bake 25 minutes, until biscuits tops are golden brown. Remove from oven and set aside.
  5. In a Dutch oven or large cast iron skillet, melt 1 tablespoon butter over medium heat. Add mushrooms and season with salt and pepper. Cook about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until mushrooms are nicely browned and have begun to release their juices. Remove from pan and set aside.
  6. Add additional 1 tablespoon butter to skillet. Add onions and carrots and season with salt and pepper. Cook 8 minutes, stirring occasionally, until softened. Add remaining 2 tablespoons butter; melt. Add flour and cook 1 minute, stirring constantly. Add chicken stock and mix well to incorporate. Mix in turkey meat. Bring to simmer; reduce heat to medium-low. Simmer, stirring often, until sauce is thickened and coats the back of a spoon.*
  7. Add kale and stir to incorporate. Cook 2-3 minutes. Remove from heat. Mix in remaining 1 cup shredded Gruyère. Taste and adjust seasonings as needed. Serve hot topped with warm Gruyère biscuits.
  8. *Pot pie filling can be made ahead of time. Reheat over low heat and add kale and cheese just before serving.
