A Healthier Take on Shepherd’s Pie PDF Print E-mail
Written by s t   
My husband loves good old-fashioned comfort food—and his favorite is Shepherd’s Pie. This healthier version of the traditional favorite uses ground turkey and extra veggies to make an easy dinner in one dish.

Ingredients

  • 1 lb. ground turkey
  • 1 c. frozen peas
  • 1 c. frozen corn
  • ½ medium onion, chopped
  • 3-4 medium potatoes
  • 2 tablespoons smart balance (or other healthy butter alternative)
  • ¼ c. skim milk
  • Splash of olive oil
  • Salt and pepper to taste

 

Directions

  • Preheat oven to 350. Scrub potatoes, chop into bite-size pieces (leave skins on for an extra boost of fiber), and put in a pot with some water to boil. 
  • While the potatoes are cooking, sauté the onions with a splash of olive oil, then add the ground turkey to brown. 
  • Add some salt and pepper to the browned turkey. 
  • Once potatoes are soft, drain water, add butter spread and milk, and mash. 
  • In a 2 quart casserole dish, put browned turkey on the bottom layer, then add corn and peas, then top off with mashed potatoes. 
  • Sprinkle with more salt and pepper, then pop in the oven for about 20-25 minutes until potatoes start to turn golden brown on top. Serves 4
