- Place a spoonful of the chicken mixture in the center of each biscuit.
- Crimp the edges of the biscuits to seal the filling inside.
- Place the filled biscuits on a greased baking sheet.
- Sprinkle shredded cheese on top of each turnover.
- Bake in a preheated 350°F (175°C) oven for about 1 hour or until golden brown.

Tips & Substitutions
For a twist, consider adding diced bell peppers or corn to the filling for extra flavor and texture. If you don't have garlic salt, regular salt with minced garlic works too. To make the dough easier to handle, chill the biscuits before rolling them out. You can also substitute the chicken with leftover rotisserie chicken for a quicker preparation. This recipe is reminiscent of American recipes that utilize simple ingredients for hearty meals.
Serving Suggestions
Serve these delicious turnovers with a side salad or steamed vegetables for a complete meal. They pair beautifully with a tangy dipping sauce, such as ranch or a simple garlic aioli. You can also enjoy them as a snack or appetizer at parties, offering a delightful option alongside dishes like Stuffed Chicken Supreme.
Storage & Reheating
Store leftover turnovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, place them in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 15-20 minutes, until heated through. You can also microwave each turnover for 1-2 minutes, but the oven method retains the crispiness of the biscuit.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I freeze the turnovers before baking?
Yes, you can freeze the assembled turnovers before baking. Place them on a baking sheet to freeze individually, then transfer to an airtight container or freezer bag. Bake from frozen, adding a few extra minutes to the cooking time.
What can I use instead of cream of mushroom soup?
If you don't have cream of mushroom soup, you can make a simple substitute using a mixture of sour cream and milk, or make a homemade white sauce with flour, butter, and broth. This will provide a similar creamy texture for the filling.
How do I know when the turnovers are done baking?
The turnovers are done when they are golden brown on top and the filling is bubbling slightly. You can also insert a thermometer into the center; the internal temperature should reach at least 165°F (74°C) to ensure the chicken is heated through.
