Fair recipe. I love the idea of using turkey and sweet potato instead of the traditional shepherd's pie but this just wasn't fabulous. Too many ingredients and not worth it!

This has been a go to recipe since it came out years ago. I have made it for large groups and given it to families with new babies. I've been asked for the recipe over and over again. I do disagree with the amount of prep time. I like it both with ground turkey and left over chopped turkey. I think the flavors are great together.

I used leftover turkey and my family enjoyed everything below the sweet potatoes. If you're making this for the first time, I'd just top the mix with regular, mashed sweet potates. The banana and cheese ruined the taste and were completely unnecessary.

After I had bought all of the ingredients, I read the recipe reviews and they were not all that great. It was too late though. The recipe said "15 minutes" prep time and 20 minutes cook time = not accurate. Between peeling and cubing sweet potatoes, dicing onions, chopping celery, and whisking butter and flour, this was a time consuming process. Luckily, my boyfriend pitched in. I did not have Worcestershire sauce so I substituted hot sauce and we also decided not to use the ripe banana that the recipe calls for. We LOVED it! This made enough for two very generous helpings tonight and plenty of leftovers. I think the next time around, it will be a bit easier and I am looking forward to it!

This recipe has a lot of potential, but I found I didn't care for the sweetened potatoes with the cheese on top. I'll make it again, but I'll leave out the banana and cheese. That banana sweetness against the meat and cheese was just too strange. My husband loved the flavor combo. It's just a matter of how a person's tastebuds react to it. This is a recipe that people seem to either love or hate.

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.
