SHEPHERD'S TURKEY PIE
A bit of a twist on the old Irish recipe. Loaded with a few extra vegetables, this went well with a side of bread. My husband liked it, my toddler was too interested in the bread...

Steps:
- Place the potatoes and cauliflower into a pot, then pour in the chicken broth. Add water to nearly cover the vegetables; bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low, and simmer until the potatoes and cauliflower are tender, about 20 minutes. Drain the potatoes and cauliflower, but keep about 1/2 cup of the cooking liquid. Separate the cooked potatoes into a large bowl. Transfer the cauliflower into a blender or food processor along with about 1/4 cup of the cooking liquid, and pulse until the cauliflower is thoroughly pureed. Spoon the blended cauliflower into the bowl with the potatoes, and mash together until the cauliflower and potatoes form a smooth, white mixture. Season the mixture with salt and black pepper. For a softer topping, stir in a few more spoonfuls of the cooking liquid.
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Spray a 9x12-inch baking dish with cooking spray.
- Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat, and cook the onion and carrots until the onion is translucent, about 5 minutes; stir in the ground turkey, and cook until the meat is no longer pink, breaking it up into small chunks as it cooks. Stir in peas and Worcestershire sauce, then cook until the meat has begun to brown, about 10 more minutes. If the filling mixture starts to look dried out, stir in a few spoonfuls of the cauliflower cooking liquid to keep it moist. Place the filling into the prepared baking dish, then smooth it out into an even layer. Top the filling with the mashed potato and cauliflower mixture, and spread with a fork, leaving little peaks and swirls in the topping.
- Bake the pie in the preheated oven until the filling is bubbling, about 25 minutes. Turn on the oven's broiler, and broil the pie about 6 inches from the heat source until the mashed topping has browned, about 10 more minutes.

GROUND TURKEY SHEPHERD'S PIE
Lean ground turkey has significantly less saturated fat than beef. It tastes rich and earthy when simmered with chipotle chili powder. Carrots and peas brighten the filling, while yogurt, stirred into the mashed potatoes and parsnips, adds calcium.

TURKEY SHEPHERD'S PIE
A dear friend from London gave me this recipe and a bit of good English advice: The key to great shepherd's pie is the ketchup. So taste the turkey mixture before adding it to the baking dish and add another spoonful or two of ketchup if desired. The chili powder gives good flavor but no heat, so don't let it scare you.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 350°F. Lightly brush or spray a 9 × 13-inch baking dish with vegetable oil. Set aside.
- Place the potatoes in a large saucepan with enough lightly salted water to cover by 1 inch. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat and simmer until the potatoes are tender when pierced with a sharp knife, about 15 minutes. Drain and return the potatoes to the saucepan. Add the buttermilk and use a potato masher to mash the potatoes until smooth. Add salt and pepper to taste. Set aside.
- Meanwhile, in a large, nonstick skillet, cook the turkey or beef over medium heat, breaking up the meat with a spoon, until it loses its pink color, about 7 minutes. Stir in the onion, carrots, celery, and garlic and cook, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables have softened, about 5 minutes. Stir in the tomatoes, ketchup, and chili powder and bring to a simmer. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
- Spoon the turkey mixture into the prepared baking dish. Spread the mashed potatoes over the turkey and sprinkle with the cheese. Bake until the juices are bubbling and the cheese is melted, 30 to 40 minutes. Let stand 5 to 10 minutes before serving.
