Topless Turkey Pot Pie ~ Lazy Man Style Comfort Food

For this month's Lazy Man Meal Throwdown I decided to roll with a meal that comes together in less than an hour (or two beers in lazy man time). My assortment of pre-made and pre-packaged items are below. Not shown is some diced onion, diced carrots, and a couple of tablespoons of flour.



At 9°F, it's pretty easy to see which cooker I plan on using.



I went with 400° pit temp, and an indirect set-up. The onions, carrots, potatoes and broth go in first and are cooked almost tender.





Next, the flour goes in for thickening and allowed to reduce a little.



The pot pie filling comes off the Egg, and the peas and canned turkey goes in the Dutch oven which basically rests while the biscuits bake.



I was too lazy to read the distructions.... but I was able to monitor the cook by peeking in the top vent, and they baked until golden.



The only thing left was plating and watching more snow fall... then a nap.

Awesome! That is quite the comfort food. Pass me a biscuit or two and a bowl, please.

The biscuits were great for dunking.

Looks like some great eats on a chilly day - or any other day!

And a chilly day it was. But that was better than the 70 mph winds the preceding days. :becky:

I've gotten a few messages and emails about the biscuit pan, so I figured I'd post here too. It's a Lodge brand and actually made for drop biscuits (hence the square sides) but it works great for canned or the frozen individual Grand biscuits. I do preheat the pan for a few minutes, and I think it's the heat surrounding each biscuit that makes them rise so well.
