My husband who is British loved it. It was delicious and I personally appreciate that it's a healthier version of the recipe than traditional shepherds pie.Also made it for some company. It was a big hit.

Edible, but the flavors don't work well at all. The sweetness of the potato and banana against the turkey, onions, and cheese was awkward. It smelled delicious which made the taste so much more disappointing.

I would rate this a zero but it's not an option. This was so weird, I can't even describe it. The mushy sweetness with cheese and turkey... I was excited to make something with my Thanksgiving leftovers but was so disappointed I couldn't even eat it. I mean, I couldn't even eat enough of my serving to get full. I hate to waste food, but had to throw the whole thing in the trash.

I thought the cheese on top of the sweet potatoes tasted really weird. I used a very ripe (ready to be made into banana bread banana and it still added a very strange flavor to the sweet potatoes that I didn't like. The gravy got watery when I put it into the oven. I also thought the amount of peas was overwhelming once I had added them. I couldn't even eat this.

oops. I forgot to add in my review that I used 1 packet of brown gravy mix to the meat mixture insead of the flour and worchestire
it was delicious !!! I changed the recipe a little...believe me it was so goood I had to make another dish the same night. I used sweet potatoes instead ( the yams kind. I used ground turkey, seasoned it and cooked then drained the water...next added the DICED celery and onions, and peas cooked 5 min , turned off heat...mashed the yams seasoned with little brown sugar and added CUMIN (secret ingredient...spread in meat mixture first I THEN PUT THE SHREDDED CHEESE ONLY 1 CUP OF CHEESE(NOT ON TOP LIKE THE RECIPE.Next I spreaded the yams on top and baked. oh yeah no banana!

I followed the recipe except for the banana. However, our family just did not care for the recipe. The flavors together just did not work.

I boiled the ground turkey, drained, rinsed with hot water. Instead of the raw carrots and frozen peas, I used one 16-ounce bag of frozen peas and carrots thawed and drained to get rid of extraneous liquid. Skipped the banana. Used extra sharp cheddar cheese, which seemed less greasy and melted beautifully. I don't get how this recipe is on 30-minute meals. It took me a long time to make and many pots. But it was good! And made for good leftovers!!

Whew! I should have trusted my instincts. The meat and grated veg mixture and the sauce actually all taste good together. Sweet potato and banana? Not so much.
The meat mixture TOPPED with sweet potato with banana and then SMOTHERED in tons of cheddar cheese? YUCK. My daughter, 2 friends, and I all pushed it aside after a few bites. Skip this one.

Since I like all that is called for in this recipe I was cautiously optimistic about it. Most of the reviews were really good or really bad. I suspected the negatives did not do it right or did not like sweet potatoes much. Against my better judgement ,I did use the banana. I always wonder why people feel the need to sweeten "sweet potatoes".
When I went to the store to get a few things I needed, there were Yams but no sweet potatoes. I did not give it much thought at the time, though I knew there was some difference between the 2, I did not know what it was, but did not think it was a big deal. As I put the yams in the pot, it hit me that this might be the reason why there were such vast differences in reviews. At that moment I knew that the yams would not work as well.
I would try this again; with 1/2 sweet potatoes and 1/2 white potatoes. NO YAMS or BANANAS!!
Another thing incorrect in directions: the cheese should be added in the last 5 minutes of cooking. That was very vague (along with the other problems previously mentioned.
