Yield 2 casseroles

Number Of Ingredients 14

5 medium sweet potatoes
2 tbsp. vegetable oil
2 lb. ground turkey or chicken
2 tsp. salt
1/3 cup all-purpose flour
1 tbsp. curry powder
1 can (14- or 14.5-oz.) chicken broth
1 1/2 lb. carrots, peeled and chopped
1 1/2 lb. parsnips, peeled and chopped
1 medium onion, chopped
1 tbsp. grated peeled fresh ginger
1 package (10 oz.) frozen peas
1 cup milk, warmed
2 tbsp. butter or margarine

Steps:

  • Cook potatoes in microwave until tender when pierced with a fork; set aside. Meanwhile, in 12-inch skillet, heat 1 tbsp. oil on medium-high until hot. Add chicken/turkey; sprinkle with 1/2 tsp. salt and cook 5-6 minutes or until no longer pink, stirring and breaking up turkey with side of spoon. Stir flour and curry powder into turkey in skillet; cook 1 minute, stirring. Add broth and heat to boiling. Cook 1 minute or until mixture thickens slightly. Divide turkey mixture between two 2.5- to 3-quart glass or ceramic baking dishes and spread evenly. Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Wipe skillet dry. To same skillet add remaining 1 tbsp. oil and heat on medium until hot. Add carrots, parsnips, and onion, and cook, covered, about 15 minutes or until vegetables are browned and tender, stirring occasionally. Stir in ginger, frozen peas, and 1/2 tsp. salt. Divide vegetable mixture between casseroles, spreading evenly over turkey mixture. When cool enough to handle, cut potatoes in half and scoop flesh from skins into large bowl. With potato masher, coarsely mash potatoes. Stir in milk, butter and 1 tsp. salt; mash until well blended. Spread potatoes over vegetables. Bake one shepherd's pie, uncovered, 35 to 40 minutes or until top is browned. Meanwhile, prepare second casserole for freezing.

The sweet potatoes didn't cook all the way through in the time specified in the recipe. I had to add some extra cooking time.

I found this recipe to be a bit bland. I added some extra spices and herbs to taste.

This recipe is a great way to use up leftover lamb. I also like that it can be made ahead of time and reheated when you're ready to serve.
