I get a pound of ground turkey—the light kind—and a pound of the dark kind for this recipe, but you could use beef or lamb. — Jane Leeves, Los Angeles, California

30 20 50

Ingredients

2 pounds ground turkey
2 large carrots, finely chopped
2 celery ribs, finely chopped
1 large onion, finely chopped
2 garlic cloves, minced
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon minced fresh sage
1 tablespoon minced fresh thyme
2 teaspoons minced fresh rosemary
2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce
1-1/2 teaspoons salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper
1/2 cup chicken broth
1 cup frozen peas
2-1/2 cups mashed potatoes (with added milk and butter), warmed
1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese, optional

Directions

In a Dutch oven, cook the first five ingredients over medium heat until turkey is no longer pink and vegetables are tender, breaking up meat into crumbles; drain.
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-in. deep-dish pie plate. Top with mashed potatoes; if desired, sprinkle with cheese. Bake at 400° for 20-25 minutes or until filling is bubbly. Yield: 6 servings.

Great recipe and use of left overs! We used ground pork in ours and the kids devoured it. I almost didn't even get a helping myself. Other than the pork, we used some dried celery from our garden because we didn't have any celery ribs.

Great taste. The spices smell great while it's baking!
