How to Make Gobble Up Turkey Cottage Pie
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
- In a large skillet, brown 1 lb ground turkey over medium-high heat. Drain off any excess fat.
- Add 1 medium chopped onion and 2 carrots (chopped) to the skillet and cook until softened, about 5 minutes.
- Stir in 1 tbsp tomato paste, 1 tsp dried thyme, 1/2 tsp salt, and 1/4 tsp black pepper.
- Pour in 1 cup beef broth and bring to a simmer. Reduce heat and cook for 5 minutes, allowing the sauce to thicken slightly.
- Stir in 1 (15 ounce) can of mixed vegetables (drained).
- In a separate bowl, mash 2 cups cooked potatoes with 1/4 cup milk and 2 tbsp butter until smooth and creamy.
- Pour the turkey mixture into a 9x13 inch baking dish.
- Spread the mashed potatoes evenly over the turkey mixture.
- Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the potatoes are golden brown and the filling is bubbly.
- Let stand for 10 minutes before serving.
Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor
Chef's secret: layers of flavor make a dish truly memorable! Consider what a little extra something could bring – perhaps a touch of acidity like a good vinegar or citrus zest, a hint of smokiness from paprika, a bit of umami from mushrooms or soy sauce, or a sprinkle of toasted nuts for texture. Experiment and taste as you go!
