Creating Ground Turkey Shepherd’s Pie is straightforward if you follow these simple steps:
1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
2. Cook the Turkey: In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add ground turkey and cook until browned, about 5-7 minutes. Drain excess fat if necessary.
3. Sauté Vegetables: Add the chopped onion and minced garlic to the skillet. Sauté until the onion is translucent, about 3-4 minutes.
4. Add Remaining Veggies: Stir in the diced carrots, peas, and corn. Cook for an additional 3-4 minutes until the vegetables are tender.
5. Add Seasonings: Mix in the tomato paste, broth, Worcestershire sauce, thyme, rosemary, salt, and pepper. Bring to a simmer and cook for another 5 minutes.
6. Assemble the Pie: Transfer the turkey and vegetable mixture to a baking dish. Spread the mashed potatoes evenly on top. If desired, sprinkle shredded cheese over the potatoes.
7. Bake: Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the top is golden and bubbly.
8. Cool: Remove from the oven and allow to cool for about 5-10 minutes before serving.
