How to Make Weight Watchers Shepherd's Pie

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. Peel and chop 2 lbs russet potatoes into 1-inch cubes. Place in a large saucepan and cover with cold water. Bring to a boil over high heat.
  3. Reduce heat to medium and simmer for 10-15 minutes, or until potatoes are fork-tender.
  4. Drain potatoes and return them to the saucepan. Add 1/4 cup sour cream and 2 tablespoons margarine. Mash until smooth and creamy. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Set aside.
  5. While potatoes are cooking, heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
  6. Add 1 medium onion (chopped), 2 carrots (chopped), and 2 celery stalks (chopped). Cook until softened, about 5 minutes.
  7. Add 1 lb ground turkey and cook, breaking it up with a spoon, until browned. Drain off any excess grease.
  8. Stir in 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon dried rosemary, 1 teaspoon dried thyme, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper.
  9. Gradually whisk in 1 1/2 cups low-sodium chicken broth until the sauce thickens slightly. Simmer for 3 minutes.
  10. Transfer the turkey mixture to a 9-inch deep-dish pie plate.
  11. Spread the mashed potatoes evenly over the turkey mixture. Use a fork to create decorative swirls on top.
  12. Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the potatoes are golden brown and the filling is bubbly.
  13. Let cool slightly before slicing into 6 servings.
