How to Make Turkey Shepherd's Pie

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. In a large skillet, brown the ground turkey over medium-high heat. Drain off any excess fat.
  3. Add the chopped onion and carrots to the skillet and cook until softened, about 5 minutes.
  4. Stir in the garlic, Worcestershire sauce, and thyme. Cook for 1 minute more.
  5. In a medium bowl, mash the potatoes with the milk and butter until smooth and creamy. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  6. Stir in the frozen peas and chopped parsley into the turkey mixture.
  7. Pour the turkey mixture into a greased 9x13 inch baking dish.
  8. Spread the mashed potatoes evenly over the turkey mixture.
  9. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the potatoes are golden brown and the filling is bubbly.
  10. Let stand for 5 minutes before serving.
