Knead dough lightly on floured surface. Roll out dough and cut into circles using 2-inch biscuit cutter. Carefully remove casserole dish from oven and arrange biscuits over turkey mixture. Brush biscuits with a little additional milk and return to oven for an additional 15 minutes.

The turkey gained its name after Spanish explorers brought the native American bird back to Europe more than 400 years ago. The English thought the bird was the same as the African Guinea fowl they imported from Guinea through the Middle Eastern country of Turkey, which they named “turkey.” They mistakenly gave the American bird the same name.
