This hearty, flavorful casserole is a great way to enjoy that leftover turkey or use diced chicken for this recipe. A rotisserie chicken would be a great choice as well. The homemade biscuits are a snap to prepare, but feel free to use purchased frozen biscuits to top this casserole.
Add a Caesar salad, simple tossed green salad, or serve the casserole with sliced fresh tomatoes for a fabulous everyday family dinner.

Make the Biscuits
-
In a medium bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, soda, salt, and sugar; whisk to blend dry ingredients thoroughly.
The Spruce Eats/Julia Hartbeck -
With a pastry blender or fingers, work the butter into the dry ingredients until the mixture resembles coarse meal.
The Spruce Eats/Julia Hartbeck -
Add the buttermilk and stir just until the mixture is moistened and the dough begins to hold together.
The Spruce Eats/Julia Hartbeck -
Turn out onto a lightly floured surface and knead just a few times, until a cohesive dough has formed. If necessary, work in a little more flour or buttermilk.
The Spruce Eats/Julia Hartbeck -
Don't overwork the dough or the biscuits will be tough. Pat the dough into a circle about 3/4-inch thick and cut out with round biscuit cutters.
The Spruce Eats/Julia Hartbeck -
Arrange the biscuits over the filling in the casserole and brush with melted butter.
The Spruce Eats/Julia Hartbeck -
Bake for 18 to 25 minutes, until the biscuits are golden brown and the casserole is bubbly.
The Spruce Eats/Julia Hartbeck -
Serve and enjoy.
