1 Video | Photo: Turkey Shepherd's Pie with Leftover Mashed Potatoes Recipe
Ingredients
- 2 cups leftover turkey meat
- 1 cup chopped carrots
- 1 cup chopped celery
- 1 cup chopped onion
- 2 bay leaves
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 2 cups reduced-sodium chicken broth
- 1/2 cup frozen green peas
- 1 1/2 cups leftover mashed potatoes
- Salt and pepper
Directions
Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
In a large saucepan, combine turkey, carrots, celery, onion, bay leaves, and thyme. Pour over chicken broth and set pan over high heat. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium and simmer 5 minutes, until liquid reduces slightly. Remove bay leaves. Remove from heat and stir in peas.
Transfer turkey mixture to a deep-dish pie plate or shallow casserole dish placed on a baking sheet. Spoon mashed potatoes over top and, using the back of a spoon, make an even layer.
Place pie on a baking sheet and bake 15 minutes, until top is golden brown and filling is bubbly.
Serving suggestion: Serve the pie with a bagged green salad.

Well here's what I did based on the previous reviews. Instead of chicken stock I used Turkey gravey. I can already tell by the way it looks in the oven that there is just too much liquid. However, I tasted the batch before it went in and it was good. If it doesn't ruin the mashed potato topping I'd make it again with even less liquid. But all in all a solid dish for your lweftovers.

Totally bland, and the timing was off on the cook time. Was super runny/yucky at 15 minutes, and the carrots were still really firm. I baked for an extra 20 minutes, and still was unimpressed. The flavor wasn't bad, just wasn't much. Of anything. On the other hand, my two kids 3 & under ate it up. That just proves it was bland, IMO. : I'd keep looking if I were you, but it did use up a lot of leftovers without hardly any prurchases. .
