• 1-1/2 cups cubed peeled potatoes
• 1-1/2 cups sliced carrots
• 1 cup frozen cut green beans, thawed
• 1 cup reduced-sodium chicken broth
• 4-1/2 teaspoons all-purpose flour
• 1 can (10-3/4 ounces) reduced-fat condensed cream of mushroom soup, undiluted
• 2 cups cubed cooked turkey
• 2 tablespoons minced fresh parsley
• 1/2 teaspoon dried basil

• 2 teaspoons baking powder

Preparation

Step 1

In a large saucepan coated with cooking spray, cook onion and garlic over medium heat until tender. Add the potatoes, carrots, beans and broth; bring to a boil. Reduce heat; cover and simmer for 15-20 minutes or until potatoes are tender.

Remove from the heat. Combine the flour and mushroom soup; stir into vegetable mixture. Add the turkey and seasonings. Transfer to a 2-qt. baking dish coated with cooking spray.

In a large bowl, combine the flour, baking powder and oregano. Cut in the butter until evenly distributed. Stir in milk. Drop batter in six mounds onto hot turkey mixture.

Bake, uncovered, at 400° for 20-25 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in center of biscuits comes out clean and biscuits are golden brown. Yield: 6 servings.
