Turkey Cottage Pie

Using up lefovers to make new meals

Turkey Cottage Pie combines the rich filling of a shepherd's pie (sans sheep) with an abundance of turkey leftovers, and is topped with low-glycemic white root vegetables (jerusalem artichoke/sunchoke, celeriac, white turnip) to balance the body.

Steps

1
Done

Topping

Boil root vegetables in 3 cups (750 mL) of water until soft (15-20 minutes). Drain and mash. Set aside.

2
Done

Filling

Sauté carrot, onion, garlic and celery for 5-7 minutes, or until soft. Sprinkle flour and add wine and spices. Stir well and cook for 2-3 minutes. Set aside in a dutch oven or oven-proof casserole dish.

3
Done

Scramble fry ground turkey, drain. If using left-over roast turkey, chop finely and pan fry 2-3 minutes to warm. Add the turkey to the vegetables. For a vegetarian option, replace the turkey with cooked lentils and 1/2 cup of cooked quinoa.

4
Done

Partially drain and mash root vegetables with a pinch of salt. Beat until smooth - the russett potato will give it a lighter texture. Spoon evenly over the filling. Bake 40 min at 375F. Let stand 5 min. Serve with fresh vegetables and a salad.
