• 2 to 3 
cloves garlic, 
finely chopped
• 2½ tsp chopped fresh rosemary
• 1½ cups 
+ 2 tbsp white whole-wheat flour, divided

Preparation

1. Preheat oven to 425°F. In a large ovenproof skillet on medium, heat oil. Add carrots, celery and onion and cook, stirring often, until onion is softened, about 5 minutes. Add garlic and rosemary and cook, stirring, until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Reduce heat to medium-low, sprinkle 2 tbsp flour over vegetables and cook, stirring constantly, for 1 minute. Stir in broth, turkey, peas, milk, ¼ tsp salt and pepper. Bring to a simmer, stirring frequently. Reduce heat to low, cover and simmer gently until thickened and bubbly, about 5 minutes.
2. Meanwhile, in a medium bowl, whisk remaining 1½ cups flour, baking powder and remaining ½ tsp salt. Using a pastry blender, cut in butter until it is the size of small peas. In a small bowl, whisk eggs, buttermilk and parsley. Add to flour mixture and stir just until no white streaks remain; do not over-stir. Drop by 1/3 cup rounds onto turkey mixture. Transfer to oven and bake until golden brown and a toothpick inserted in center of biscuits comes out clean, about 15 minutes.
