Ingredients
Scale
- 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
- 8 oz mushrooms (sliced)
- 1 medium red bell pepper (diced)
- 1 medium onion (diced)
- 2 tablespoons tomato paste
- 1 pound ground turkey
- 1 tablespoon chili powder
- 1 (14 oz) can diced tomatoes (undrained)
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 3 tablespoons unsalted butter (cut into pieces)
- 6 oz grated cheddar cheese
- 1/2 cup buttermilk
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 425ºF.
- Place a large, oven proof skillet over medium-high heat. Add the oil and heat until shimmering.
- Add the bell pepper, onion, and mushrooms. Cook until softened, about 8-10 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.
- Push the vegetables to the edge of the skillet, and add the tomato paste to the center. Cook, stirring it around slightly, until it starts to loosen up, about a minute. Stir the tomato paste into the vegetables.
- Add the turkey to the skillet along with the chili powder. Cook, breaking up the turkey as it cooks, until browned and cooked through.
- Add the undrained tomatoes and cook until some of the liquid evaporates, about 3-5 minutes. Season with salt and pepper, and remove from the heat.
- In a bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Cut the butter into the flour mixture using a pastry cutter or a fork until only very small pieces remain.
- Stir the cheese in until coated, then stir in the buttermilk.
- Form 7-9 biscuits with the dough, depending on the size of your biscuits and size of the skillet. Place the biscuits on top of the turkey filling in the skillet.
- Transfer the skillet to the oven and bake until the biscuits are cooked through and the filing is bubbling, about 20 minutes.
Notes
- Adjust the chili powder to taste for more or less spice.
- For a lighter version, you can substitute ground turkey with ground chicken.
