In less than 30 minutes this Mexican pot pie can be made. It’s a little bit country, and a little bit Mexican. The flavors remind me of biscuits and gravy, but with a spicy kick. Shredded turkey cooked in a scrumptious, creamy, and spicy sauce topped with moist and flavorful buttery biscuits is comfort food at its finest.
Thanksgiving is over and the last thing on your mind is probably cooking. I know exactly how you feel, and this dish is the ultimate perfect meal – one-skillet, which equals less dishes to wash, and the best part is you will not need to run to the grocery store. More than likely you have all the ingredients on hand. If you do not have roasted green chile in your freezer all year round like I do then feel free to substitute with canned diced green chile.
All you need for this dish is some leftover shredded turkey, roasted green chile, cheese, chopped onion, and a few dry ingredients to make the biscuits. And that’s it; it’s a delicious one-skillet dish.
Serve this comforting dish the day after Thanksgiving or make with rotisserie chicken for a 30-minute meal anytime of the year.

So lovely to hear Rose! Thank you for leaving a comment with your experience. Happy to hear a picky-eater even loved it! That’s always a GREAT sign.
Sounds delicious. I assume you add the shredded turkey when you stir in the broth? I think we’ll try it tonight.
