This looks REALLY good, I'm just wondering if there's a way to get the sodium down?

I used to make this with frozen mixed veggies. Easy and filling!

One of the reviewers suggested omitting the poultry seasoning (usually CRAZY sodium there).
The other sodium comes from the biscuit mix... so maybe checking several brands to find the one with the least amount of sodium in it.
