Ingredients
Instructions
- Lightly grease a 10-inch, 1 1/2-inch deep pie plate.
- Sprinkle the cooked turkey, drained mushrooms, sliced green onions, salt, and shredded Swiss cheese evenly in the pie plate.
- In a separate bowl, beat the eggs, milk, and Bisquick baking mix until smooth.
- Pour the egg mixture over the ingredients in the pie plate.
- Bake in a 400°F oven until golden brown, about 30 to 35 minutes.
- Let stand for 5 minutes before cutting and serving.
Tips & Substitutions
For a creamier texture, consider adding a cup of sour cream to the egg mixture. If you don't have Swiss cheese, Gruyère or mozzarella can be great substitutes. You can also add vegetables like spinach or bell peppers for extra flavor. Ensure your turkey is well-seasoned for the best taste, and try using leftover turkey from your holiday meal to reduce waste.
Serving Suggestions
This Turkey Impossible Pie is delicious served warm or at room temperature. Pair it with a simple green salad or roasted vegetables for a complete meal. A dollop of cranberry sauce on the side can add a nice touch, complementing the turkey flavor. For a more hearty meal, consider serving it alongside a bowl of Chicken And Egg Noodles.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use raw turkey instead of cooked?
Using raw turkey is not recommended for this recipe, as the cooking time may not be sufficient to ensure it's fully cooked. It's best to use pre-cooked turkey or chicken, which will blend seamlessly into the bake and maintain moisture.
Is there a gluten-free option for this recipe?
Yes, you can substitute the Bisquick baking mix with a gluten-free baking mix. Ensure all other ingredients are gluten-free as well. This will allow you to enjoy the Turkey Impossible Pie without gluten, while still keeping the flavor and texture.
Can I make this pie ahead of time?
Absolutely! You can prepare the pie and assemble it a day in advance. Just cover it and refrigerate until you're ready to bake. This can enhance the flavors, making it a great option for meal prep or entertaining.
