How to Make The Shepherd's Turkey 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 grease.
  3. Add 1 medium onion (chopped), 2 carrots (chopped), and 2 celery stalks (chopped) to the skillet. Cook until softened, about 5-7 minutes.
  4. Stir in 1 tbsp tomato paste, 1 tsp dried thyme, 1/2 tsp dried rosemary, salt, and pepper to taste.
  5. Pour in 1 (14.5 ounce) can of diced tomatoes (undrained), 1 cup beef broth, and 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce. Bring to a simmer and cook for 10 minutes, or until the sauce has thickened slightly.
  6. Pour the turkey mixture into a 9x13 inch baking dish.
  7. Top with 4 cups of mashed potatoes (you can use leftover mashed potatoes or make your own).
  8. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the potatoes are golden brown and the filling is bubbly.
  9. Let cool for a few minutes before slicing and serving. Enjoy with a side salad and crusty bread!
