Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb ground turkey
  • 1 medium onion, diced
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 cups mixed vegetables (peas, carrots, and corn; fresh or frozen)
  • 2 tbsp tomato paste
  • 1 cup chicken or beef broth (low-sodium)
  • 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 tsp dried thyme
  • 1 tsp dried rosemary
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 4 cups potatoes, peeled and cubed
  • 3 tbsp unsalted butter
  • 1/3 cup milk
  • 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese (optional)
  • Salt and pepper, to taste

Instructions

  1. Peel and cube the potatoes, then boil them in salted water for 15-20 minutes, or until fork-tender. Drain and set aside.
  2. Mash the potatoes with butter and milk. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Stir in cheddar cheese if desired.
  3. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add diced onion and cook for 3-4 minutes until softened. Stir in garlic and cook for another minute.
  4. Add ground turkey to the skillet and cook until browned, breaking it up into small pieces as it cooks.
  5. Stir in tomato paste, Worcestershire sauce, thyme, rosemary, salt, and pepper. Cook for 1-2 minutes to combine.
  6. Add mixed vegetables and chicken broth. Let it simmer for 5-7 minutes until the mixture thickens slightly.
  7. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Spread turkey filling evenly in a baking dish. Top with mashed potatoes, using a spatula to spread them smoothly. Use a fork to create a textured pattern on the surface.
  8. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the top is golden and slightly crispy.
  9. Let it rest for 5 minutes before serving.

Notes

[‘Don’t overmix the potatoes to keep them fluffy.’, ‘Taste and season gradually for the perfect flavor.’, ‘Use fresh herbs for brighter flavor.’, ‘Simmer the filling until the broth reduces slightly for better consistency.’, ‘Create texture on the mashed potato topping with a fork for a crispy finish.’]
