We challenge anyone that says they don't like turkey leftovers to try this wonderful shepherd's pie. The filling reminds us of a rich pot pie with all the yummy flavors of a holiday turkey. Using a soup base gives the filling a savory, rich flavor. Mashed potatoes and cheese are the crowning glories of this shepherd's pie. It's a wonderful recipe to use holiday leftovers the whole family will love. Bonus, we love that this is a one-pot meal. Test Kitchen Avatar The Test Kitchen
