Cottage Pie

From Andie Evans
Makes 6 servings
Prep: 30 mins  Bake: 20 mins

One of the few ground turkey recipes that taste good.

2 lb. ground turkey
2 large carrots, finely chopped
2 celery ribs, finely chopped
1 large onion, finely chopped
2 garlic cloves, minced
2 Tbsp. AP flour
1 Tbsp. Penzey's Bouquet Garni spice mix (or 1 tsp. each of sage, thyme and rosemary)
2 tsp. Worcestershire sauce
1 1/2 tsp. salt
1/4 tsp. pepper
1/2 c. chicken broth
1 c. frozen peas
2 1/2 c. mashed potatoes (with added milk and butter), warmed
1/2 c. shredded cheddar cheese, optional

In a Dutch oven, cook the first five ingredients over medium heat until turkey is no longer pink and veggies are tender.

Stir in flour, herbs, Worcestershire sauce, salt and pepper until blended. Add broth; cook and stir for 1-2 minutes or until broth is absorbed. Stir in peas; heat through.

Transfer to a greased 9-inch deep-dish pie plate (or a 9 by 13 casserole pan). Top with mashed potatoes and sprinkle with cheese. Bake at 400 degrees for 20-25 minutes or until filling is bubbly.
