Turkey Shepherd's Pie
Ingredients
  • cooking spray
  • 1 1/2 pounds russet potatoes, peeled and cut into 1 1/2-inch thick slices
  • 6 tablespoons butter, cut into pieces
  • 1 cup milk
  • salt and pepper, to taste
  • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
  • 1 pound ground turkey
  • 1 medium onion, chopped
  • 2 (1 ounce) packages instant chicken gravy mix
  • 1 cup water
  • 1 (16 ounce) package frozen peas and carrots, thawed
  • 2 cups shredded cheese of choice
Instructions
1
Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit (175 degrees Celsius).
2
To prepare the dish, lightly coat a medium-sized baking container with cooking spray.
3
In a saucepan, submerge diced potatoes in water and bring to a boil for 20-30 minutes or until they can be pierced easily with a fork.
4
Drain the potatoes and use an electric mixer to blend them into a smooth consistency. Add softened butter, milk, and a pinch of salt and pepper to taste; continue blending until you achieve your desired texture.
5
In a large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of oil over medium-high heat. Cook diced turkey and sliced onion until the turkey is fully cooked, breaking it apart occasionally.
6
Mix in a store-bought gravy packet with water and stir constantly until the mixture thickens and becomes bubbly. Season with additional salt and pepper if needed.
7
Combine the cooked turkey mixture into the prepared baking dish. Next, layer frozen peas and carrots on top of the turkey mixture.
8
Finish by topping the dish with a layer of mashed potatoes and shredded cheese.
9
Bake the dish in your preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and the potatoes are golden brown on top.
