Equipment
- Large frying pan
- 9x13 Baking dish
- Mixing bowl
Ingredients
- 2 lbs Ground Turkey lean
- 1 Sweet Onion diced
- 1 tsp Ground Oregano
- 1/4 tsp Thyme
- 1/2 tsp Rosemary
- 1/2 tsp Ground Cloves
- 1 tsp Seasoning Salt
- 2 Turkey Gravy Packets
- 1 12oz Can Corn, reserve 1/2 liquid
- 1 12oz Can Green Beans
- 1 12oz Can Diced Carrots
- Instant Mashed Potatoes
- Greek Yogurt (0% Fage)
- 1 cup Sharp Cheddar or Irish Cheddar Cheese shredded
Instructions
- Cook the diced onion until softening then add the raw ground turkey
- Sprinkle all the spices: Oregano, thyme, rosemary, cloves, and seasoning salt, and proceed to brown turkey.
- Mix gravy packet dry mix with 2 TB water and add to ground turkey.
- Open canned corn and reserve 1/2 cup liquid to add to the meat. Bring up heat to create the gravy.
- Add desired vegetables, corn, carrots, green beans, etc. to the meat and mix thoroughly.
- Line baking dish with turkey vegetable mixture.
- Mix up instant potatoes with water, following the instructions but replacing the final 1/2 cup of water with 1/2 cup of 0% Greek yogurt. This gives you a creamy texture and more protein without adding fats from sour cream or additional butter.
- Gently spread your potatoes over the top of the turkey vegetable layer. Some find it easiest to pipe it on. Which looks beautiful. But if you're in a hurry just spread with the back of a spoon.
- Sprinkle the top of your shepherd's pie with shredded cheddar and bake at 350 for 25 minutes.
- Serve with Soda Bread and an Irish Flag themed veggie tray for St. Patrick's Day.
