For the biscuit top crust:
3 cups (360 grams) all-purpose flour, plus for dusting the work surface
1 teaspoon (6 grams) salt
1 tablespoon (11 grams) sugar
1 tablespoon (15 grams) baking powder
1/2 cup (100 grams) vegetable shortening, frozen, cut into 1/2-inch cubes
1/2 cup (100 grams) unsalted butter, chilled, cut into 1/2-inch cubes
1 cup (240 milliliters) low-fat buttermilk
2 teaspoons fresh thyme, minced
Egg wash (1 egg whisked with 2 tablespoons water)
Coarse sea salt, for sprinkling
- To prepare the filling, melt the butter and olive oil in a large ovenproof skillet (about 14 inches) over medium heat. Add the garlic, carrot, onion, and bell pepper and sauté until soft.
- Stir in the peas, corn and thyme. After dusting the veggies with flour, pour in the cream and chicken broth. Stir to distribute the flour and the liquids. Simmer until the sauce thickens, about 10 minutes. Add the turkey and season with salt and pepper after mixing. Set the mixture aside to cool slightly.
- To prepare the biscuit top crust, put the flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt in a large mixing bowl. To mix and disperse the leavening evenly, whisk for 30 seconds. Stir in the butter and shortening, then toss to lightly coat the fat with flour. Work the fats into the flour with your fingertips until the mixture resembles coarse cornmeal with a few pea-sized fat chunks.
- Combine the egg and buttermilk in a small bowl and mix it into the flour mixture. Stir together with a wooden spoon. Then, using your hands, gradually stir the mixture to remove any damp areas and combine the dough.
- Place the dough onto a surface dusted with flour, then gently knead it until it just comes together. Sprinkle with the minced thyme. Using a 3-inch round biscuit cutter, pat it into a rough 1/2-inch-tall disk and cut it into 7 biscuits. (Bake off the leftovers and use them to make the Broccoli Salad croutons.) ) .
- To assemble: Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Top the filling in the skillet with the biscuit rounds. After applying egg wash to the tops, sprinkle sea salt on them.
- Bake the potpie for twenty to thirty minutes, or until the biscuits are golden brown and the filling is bubbling.
