Turkey Shepherd's Pie
Blue Ribbon Recipe
Homemade shepherd's pie is a heavenly dinner when the weather gets cooler and this turkey shepherd's pie is fantastic. It has rustic vegetables that are cooked with the ground turkey. Then, it's baked with a layer of creamy potatoes on top. Using ground turkey (rather than beef or lamb) lightens up the calories but not the flavor. We loved this easy shepherd's pie recipe.
Test Kitchen Tip: If you would like to pipe on the potatoes to make the shepherd's pie look pretty (like we did), add 2 more tablespoons of butter to the potatoes to make them even smoother and pipeable.
