How to Make Gobble Up Turkey Cottage Pie

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. In a large skillet, brown 1 lb ground turkey over medium-high heat. Drain off any excess fat.
  3. Add 1 medium chopped onion and 2 carrots (chopped) to the skillet and cook until softened, about 5 minutes.
  4. Stir in 1 tbsp tomato paste, 1 tsp dried thyme, 1/2 tsp salt, and 1/4 tsp black pepper.
  5. Pour in 1 cup beef broth and bring to a simmer. Reduce heat and cook for 5 minutes, allowing the sauce to thicken slightly.
  6. Stir in 1 (15 ounce) can of mixed vegetables (drained).
  7. In a separate bowl, mash 2 cups cooked potatoes with 1/4 cup milk and 2 tbsp butter until smooth and creamy.
  8. Pour the turkey mixture into a 9x13 inch baking dish.
  9. Spread the mashed potatoes evenly over the turkey mixture.
  10. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the potatoes are golden brown and the filling is bubbly.
  11. Let stand for 10 minutes before serving.
