Ingredients

2 lb yukon gold potato, peeled if desired, diced
1 tablespoon kosher salt, divided, plus 1/2 teaspoon
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
¼ cup milk
4 oz shredded cheddar cheese, divided
2 tablespoons unsalted butter, divided
1 ½ lb ground turkey
1 yellow onion, diced
2 celery stalks, diced
1 large carrot, dicedd
½ teaspoon kosher salt
2 cloves garlic, minced
2 large parsnips, peeledd and diced
½ cup green beans, trimmed and chopped on the bias
2 packets McCormick® Turkey Gravy Mix
1 tablespoon all purpose flour
½ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1 teaspoon dried thyme
½ teaspoon dried sage
¾ cup milk
1 cup chicken stock

Steps:

Make the mashed potato topping: Add the potatoes to a large stockpot and fill with cold water until the potatoes are covered by about 1 inch. Add 1 tablespoon salt. Bring to a boil over medium heat and cook until the potatoes are fork-tender, 10-12 minutes.
Drain the potatoes, then return to the pot. Add the butter, milk, and remaining ½ teaspoon salt, and mash until the potatoes are smooth and creamy. Fold in 2 ounces of cheddar cheese. Set aside.
Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C).
Make the filling: Melt 1 tablespoon butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the ground turkey and cook for 6-8 minutes, until browned. Remove the turkey from the pan and set aside.
Melt the remaining tablespoon of butter in the same skillet. Add the onion, celery, carrot, and ½ teaspoon salt, and cook for 5-6 minutes, until the onion is translucent and the vegetables are beginning to brown. Add the garlic and cook for 1 minute more, until fragrant.
Add the parsnips, green beans, and cooked ground turkey and stir to combine.
Add the McCormick® Turkey Gravy Mix, flour, pepper, thyme, sage, milk, and chicken stock, and fold into the filling until well incorporated. Bring to a simmer and cook for 3-4 minutes, until the sauce begins to thicken. Remove the pan from the heat and transfer the filling to a 2-quart casserole dish.
Spread the potatoes evenly over the filling, smoothing the top. Top with the remaining 2 ounces shredded cheese.
Bake the shepherd's pie for 30 minutes, or until bubbling and browned on the top. Let rest for 10 minutes before serving.
Enjoy!
