The Humble Shepherd

By: Amanda Fetters

"Ground turkey stands in for ground beef or the more traditional lamb in this simple version of shepherd's pie. Frozen vegetables make assembly simple; you can even use instant mashed potatoes instead of making your own to cut down on preparation time."

Original Recipe Yield 6 servings

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

Directions

Preheat an oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Lightly grease a medium baking dish.
Cover potatoes with water in a saucepan and boil for 20 to 30 minutes, or until fork-tender. Drain and beat until smooth with an electric mixer. Add butter, milk, and salt and pepper to taste; beat to desired consistency.
Heat 1 tablespoon of oil in a large skillet over medium high heat. Cook and stir turkey and onion until turkey is fully cooked. Add gravy mix and water; stir often, until gravy is thick and bubbly. Season with salt and pepper.
Add turkey mixture to the baking dish. Next, layer the peas and carrots, and top with the mashed potatoes. Top with a layer of shredded cheese.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20 to 25 minutes, or until cheese is melted and the potatoes are golden on the top.
