Beef (or Turkey) and Biscuit Bake - AKA Cowboy Stew

This recipe showed up on one of my AllRecipes.com searches...I keep a lot of ground turkey around, and I'm always looking for new dishes to make with it. I like the addition of the beans to this dish, for extra nutrients and a heartier texture. I made a few substitutions to use stuff I had on hand, I also prefer to use homemade biscuits instead of canned, which is usually cheaper.

We've taken to calling this Cowboy Stew in my house...it's very stick-to-your-ribs hearty, and the beef and beans remind my hubby of camping trips!
