SIMPLE TURKEY SHEPHERD'S PIE



Simple Turkey Shepherd's Pie image

This ground turkey shepherd's pie is an easy recipe with basic main ingredients - turkey, corn, and potatoes. Although simple to prepare, it is large on taste and has always been a favorite. It also freezes and re-heats well, so I often make a few batches at a time. The potatoes can be cooked in chicken or beef broth for added flavor. Enjoy!

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



Turkey Shepherd's Pie image

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.

Yield makes 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

Vegetable oil or cooking spray, for the baking dish
2 pounds russet potatoes, peeled and cut into small cubes
Kosher salt
1/2 cup buttermilk
Ground black pepper
2 pounds ground turkey or beef
1 large yellow onion, finely chopped
2 medium carrots, cut into 1/2-inch pieces
2 celery ribs, cut into 1/2-inch pieces
1 garlic clove, minced
1 14 1/2-ounce can whole tomatoes with juice, chopped
1/4 cup ketchup
1 tablespoon chili powder
1/2 cup grated Cheddar cheese (about 2 ounces)

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.

Tips:

  • Use fresh, high-quality ingredients. This will make a big difference in the flavor of your shepherd's pie.
  • Don't overcook the ground turkey. It should be cooked through, but not dry.
  • Season the ground turkey generously. Use a variety of spices and herbs to create a flavorful dish.
  • Use a variety of vegetables in your shepherd's pie. This will add color, texture, and nutrients to the dish.
  • Make sure the mashed potatoes are creamy and smooth. This will help to create a cohesive dish.
  • Don't be afraid to experiment with different ingredients. You can use different types of meat, vegetables, and cheeses to create your own unique shepherd's pie.

Conclusion:

Turkey shepherd's pie is a delicious and comforting dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. With a few simple tips, you can make a shepherd's pie that your family and friends will love.
