Preparation

Step 1

Make the Cobbler Topping: Whisk the flour, sugar, thyme, salt and pepper together in a large bowl and then stir in the Cheddar. Drizzle in the melted butter. Using your hands (or a fork), work the butter into the dry ingredients until just a few dry patches remain and the mixture resembles wet sand.
Make the turkey filling: Melt the butter in a large saucepan or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add the onion and celery and cook until the vegetables are soft, stirring often, about 5 minutes. Add the mushrooms, thyme, salt, and pepper, cooking until the mushrooms are cooked through, stirring often, about 5 minutes. Stir in the garlic and cook until fragrant, 30 seconds to 1 minute. Stir in the flour and cook for 30 seconds, stirring often, then begin adding the broth, 1/4 cup at a time, working out lumps as you see them. Once all of the broth is added, stir in the turkey or chicken and the peas.
Bake the cobbler: Heat the oven to 350 degrees F. Pour the turkey filling into a 2-quart baking dish and sprinkle with the topping. Bake until the filling is bubbly and the topping is golden brown, 30 to 40 minutes (if the topping becomes too brown too quickly, cover it with a piece of foil). Cool slightly before serving.
