Ingredients
½ pound bulk pork sausage
3 tablespoons butter
1 cup chopped onion
1 cup chopped fresh mushrooms
¼ cup all-purpose flour
2 cups chicken broth
1 teaspoon dried sage
kosher salt and ground black pepper to taste
⅔ cup heavy cream
2 cups chopped cooked turkey
2 cups frozen mixed vegetables, thawed
Topping:
1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
½ teaspoon kosher salt
1 ½ cups heavy cream
2 tablespoons salted butter, melted
1 teaspoon minced fresh parsley
1 teaspoon minced fresh chives
⅛ teaspoon garlic powder
Directions
Step 1
Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish and line a sheet pan with aluminum foil.
Step 2
Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook and stir sausage in the hot skillet until browned and crumbly, 5 to 7 minutes. Transfer sausage to a plate and set aside, reserving drippings in the skillet.
Step 3
Melt sausage drippings and 3 tablespoons butter together in the skillet over medium heat. Add onion and mushrooms; cook until soft, stirring occasionally, 4 to 5 minutes. Stir in 1/4 cup flour and cook for 2 minutes; mixture will thicken as flour cooks. Stir in chicken broth and continue to cook and stir until flour lumps dissolve and mixture begins to bubble, about 1 minute. Remove from heat and add sage. Season with salt and pepper.
Step 4
Stir heavy cream into the mixture and add reserved sausage, turkey, and mixed vegetables. Adjust seasoning if necessary and pour into the prepared baking dish.
Step 5
Combine flour, baking powder, and salt in a large bowl for topping. Stir in 1 cup heavy cream at first; gradually add remaining cream to form a wet, sticky dough.
Step 6
Drop large tablespoon-sized dough balls on top of the meat and vegetable mixture, evenly spacing 15 to 16 balls in total.
Step 7
Combine melted butter, parsley, chives, and garlic powder in a small bowl. Brush mixture lightly over each dough ball. Place the baking dish onto the prepared sheet pan.
Step 8
Bake in the preheated oven until bubbly and topping is browned, about 45 minutes.
Step 9
Remove from the oven and let cool on a wire rack for about 30 minutes before serving.
