Start by cooking 1 pound of ground turkey in a pan.

Add chopped onions, bell pepper, and diced celery to the turkey.

Cook the mixture for about 6-7 minutes until the vegetables soften.

Drain any excess water from the mixture.

Add 2 cans of fire-roasted diced tomatoes, black-eyed peas, tomato sauce, green chilies, niblet corn, and okra to the pan.

Cook the mixture for another 7-8 minutes, covered with a lid.

Add 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder, 1/2 teaspoon red pepper, seasoning salt, creole seasoning, and paprika to the mixture.

Stir to combine all the spices into the mixture.

Remove 1.5 cups of the mixture and drain it well.

Add cheese to the remaining mixture and let it melt.

Transfer the casserole mixture to a sprayed baking container.

In a bowl, combine self-rising flour and cold butter, cutting the butter into the flour.

Add milk to the mixture until it reaches a dough consistency.

Knead the dough about 12 times on a floured surface.

Roll the dough out to approximately 20 by 10 inches.

Spread the reserved filling onto the dough, leaving a half-inch border on all sides.

Roll the dough from the long end to form a log.
