Healthy Shepherd's Pie image

Healthy Shepherd's Pie made with Chicken or Turkey. I received an email this morning on our food service professionals board (www.RestaurantBeast.com ) requesting a recipe for something on the healthier side for St. Patrick's Day and thought I'd share here. Ground turkey and ground chicken actually make a GREAT Healthy Shepherd's Pie.

This shepherd's pie is a bit too expensive for me. I think I'll stick to my old recipe.

I'm not sure why this recipe is called 'healthy'. It's still pretty high in calories and fat.

The sweet potato topping was a bit too sweet for me. I think I'll use mashed potatoes next time.

This shepherd's pie was a little bland for my taste. I think I'll add some more herbs and spices next time.
