Ingredients
- 2 large sweet potatoes, peeled and cut into cubes
- 1 large russet potato, peeled and cubed
- 2 large carrots, peeled and finely diced
- ¼ cup egg substitute
- ⅓ cup light sour cream
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to your liking
- 1 tablespoon of olive oil
- 1 pound of ground turkey meat
- ½ cup of chopped onion
- 1 stalk of celery, finely chopped
- 1 clove of garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon of dried thyme, crumbled
- ¾ teaspoon of poultry seasoning
- ½ cup of chicken broth
- ½ cup of warm milk
- 1 tablespoon of all-purpose flour
- A dash of Worcestershire sauce
- A dash of browning sauce
- 1 and 1/3 cups of herb-seasoned stuffing mix
- 1 cup of peas
- ¾ cup of corn kernels
- ½ teaspoon of dried thyme, crumbled
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to your liking
- 1 teaspoon of ground nutmeg
Step 1
To start, preheat your oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C) and lightly grease a 2-quart, deep-dish casserole pan for the upcoming culinary adventure.
Step 2
Now, let's dive into the vegetable preparation. Each sweet potato, russet potato, and carrot has its own saucepan waiting to be filled with water just enough to cover them. Place these saucepans on medium heat and watch them come to a gentle boil. After 5 to 7 minutes, poke them with a fork to check for tenderness, then drain, setting the carrots aside for later.
Step 3
In a large mixing bowl, combine the drained sweet potato and russet potato, giving them a light mash. Introduce the egg substitute and sour cream to the mix, then bring it all together using an electric hand mixer set to medium speed. In about 2 minutes, you'll have a smooth and fluffy potato blend. Season with salt and pepper to taste before setting it aside for the next steps.
Step 4
Moving on to the skillet, heat some oil over medium heat and cook the turkey until it's beautifully browned (around 4 to 5 minutes). Toss in the onion, celery, garlic, a teaspoon of thyme, and poultry seasoning, allowing the flavors to meld together as the turkey cooks through. Crank up the heat to medium-high and pour in the chicken stock. While that simmers, whisk together the hot milk and flour until smooth, then introduce it to the bubbling stock, stirring until thickened. Take the skillet off the heat and add a dash of Worcestershire sauce and browning sauce for that extra depth of flavor.
Step 5
Now, pour this delectable turkey concoction into the awaiting casserole dish. Sprinkle the stuffing mix over the turkey layer, followed by a colorful arrangement of carrots, peas, and corn. Season with thyme, salt, and pepper before spreading the potato mixture over the veggies, ensuring to cover every corner of the dish. A touch of nutmeg on top will add a fragrant note.
Step 6
Pop your masterpiece into the preheated oven and let it bake until the top is delicately browned, approximately 35 minutes. Allow it to rest for 30 minutes before serving to let the flavors mingle and deepen. Enjoy the delightful medley of flavors and textures you've crafted with love and care!
Extra Tips & Suggestions
- 1. Keep your sweet potatoes in a cool, dark place such as a pantry or cellar to prevent sprouting and maintain freshness.
- 2. Store your leftover turkey in an airtight container in the refrigerator to keep it moist and flavorful.
- 3. Make ahead and freeze individual portions of the shepherd's pie for quick and easy meals on busy days.
