Excellent recipe although I modified it slightly. I thought it needed some gravy so added a jar of turkey gravy. I also added garlic and chives and cream cheese to the potatoes. Fabulous!

Stuck to the recipe for the most part but made some additions. I used mixed frozen veggies and added BBQ sauce instead of Worcestershire sauce (didn't have) and grated cheese on top. It came out a little bland for my taste, maybe more seasoning would be better it. I have not have shepherd's pie before so I am not too sure of how its supposed to taste lol.

This was DELICIOUS! We all loved it-even my 18 month old. I got everything ready to make it and realized that I had only 1 large potato. I boiled that 1 potato I had with some sweet potato. I just spread half and half on the top at the end. I also sprinkled some cheese on the top and broiled it for 2 minutes before taking it out of the oven. I didn't have Thyme or Parsley in the house, so I used an Italian seasoning mix:thyme,marjoram,rosemary,savory,sage,oregano,and basil.

This was really good. I like that I had everything on hand to make this and it was healthy (not low calorie but healthy) and my family really liked it. I didn't use the chicken bouillon, instead I used worchester sauce and I grated some Asiago cheese on top of the potatos for added flavor.

I never really liked Shepherd's Pie but I decided to try it out. This recipe was great. I took a shortcut and used already prepared mashed potatoes since I had those on hand. I also used peas and I prefer fresh mushrooms instead of canned so I used those, just sauteed them a little longer. I also took someone else's suggestion and added cheddar cheese on top of the potatoes and some Parmesan cheese. It was SO good. My boyfriend raved about it. Definitely will make it again.

Completely fantastic recipe! I added some garlic cloves in with the potatoes so that they were nice and mellow when I mashed them. I also added a little sour cream and parmesan to the mashed potatoes. I also added the recommended Worchester sauce to the meat. Other than that I left everything the same in the recipe. Very very tasty!!!

We really liked this. After reading the other reviews I wish I would have added some worchestire sauce to spice it up a bit but it was still good. I will make it again. This served 3 adults and we all had seconds.

Thank you for listing this. I basically looked at this recipe to see how long it should be baked. My ingredients were quite a bit different because I wanted to make a shepherds pie to use up left overs from Thanksgiving dinner. I figured cooking times shouldn't be too different though. I'll list the ingredients so people have ideas on what they could throw in their own. I used the homemade whole wheat stuffing for a bottom crust, I just pushed it all down into the bottom. Then I put a little shredded cheddar on top of it. Next I put shredded white turkey meat. On top of that I used the rest of our homemade turkey gravy. Then I put most of the left over broccoli casserole. On top of that more shredded cheddar cheese. The final layer were the homemade mashed potatoes. I then sprinkled more cheese on top of the potatoes. I assembled in a Pampered Chef deep dish stone pie plate. It tasted fantastic!

This was a good recipe. I did add a slug of brandy. I think next time I will not drain the turkey meat annd use a little more flour to make more of a gravy.

Instead of using just potatoes I used half potato half cauliflower. Next time I will also add a layer of corn.

My kids liked it and even said I could make it again. That's high praise. I added about 2 cups of frozen mixed vegetables, about 2/3 cup of light sour cream, and about 2 tsp of worcestershire sauce to the turkey mixture, and about 1 cup of shredded cheddar to the top. I also used prepared, instant mashed potatoes because that's all I had on hand.

Yum! This was a big hit. I stayed true to the recipe, but I did add a bit of oregano and basil. I also added a bit of cheese which was optional in the recipe.

I made this tonight with only one exception - used cauliflower instead of potatoes to make it a little healthier. Boiled cauliflower and garlic, added horseradish and cheese when mashing and it was so good with this recipe. My husband loves shepherd pie, but we've been trying to eat better. Thank you very much for this recipe!

I omitted the bouillon bc I didn't have it and didn't drain the meat - added about 2 tbsp of chicken broth to that. It was perfect! My husband is from Ireland and loved it - it's really hard to get him to try any red meat substitutions!

My fiance loves Shepherd's pie and really enjoyed this version. After reading other reviews, I added about 1 tbls. of Worcestershire sauce and a packet of Lipton Onion Soup Mix. I also did not add the flour and it was not too dry or runny. Great recipe!

My whole family loved this recipe. The only problem was that the serving size is way off. The 10 servings stated were perfect for my family of four which includes two teenagers and a 6'1" husband. You would hard pressed to serve 10 people with this recipe. The only changes I made were to add extra garlic and to sprinkle grated cheese on top of the mash potatoes. Delicious! I will definitely make this again.

Great recipe! I also used left over mashed potatoes and a bag of frozen mixed veggies. I also added the chicken bullion to about 1/2 cup hot water, Worcestershire sauce, and two tablespoons ketchup and I let that simmer together. Cheddar cheese and dotted butter on top of the potatoes is also a yummy addition.

Very versatile and delicious. I've made this several times since seeing this recipe. My picky family hasn't complained once! To make this a faster meal to prepare, I replaced the fresh veggies with a bag of frozen veggies and used leftover mashed potatoes for the top. I have also added a layer of shredded sharp cheddar before putting on the mashed potatoes. But no matter what I do, it turns out excellent.
