A festive twist on the classic comfort food, featuring savory ground turkey, aromatic rosemary, and thyme, topped with creamy mashed potatoes, perfect for celebrating the Irish holiday.
Ingredients
- 24 oz of quality ground turkey
- 1 can Progresso French onion soup (strain away 1/2 of the broth)
- 3/4 of a 1 oz can of peas with pearl onions (or one can of peas and 1/4 cup jarred pearl onions)
- 2 large carrots diced
- 2 – 4 oz pkgs of instant buttery mashed potatoes
- 3 tablespoons tomato paste
- 2 tablespoons flour
- 1 4 oz can of sliced whole mushrooms
- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh Soli Organic rosemary
- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh Soli Organic thyme
- 3 tablespoons dried onion
- 5 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
- 1 tablespoon butter
- ¼ cup shredded cheddar cheese
Directions
- Add butter to a 8” cast iron pan (deep preferable) on medium heat
- Add carrots and cook until soft (about 6 minutes)
- Add ground turkey and dried onion and cook thoroughly with carrots
- When cooked, spoon in 1/2 can of French onion soup. Note: we will add more later if the pan has enough depth.
- Stir in peas and pearl onions, tomato paste, mushrooms, thyme, rosemary, and Worcestershire sauce, and bring to a slow boil.
- Stir in flour and allow to thicken for 8 - 10 minutes
- While thickening, prepare instant potatoes
- If there is still room in your pan, stir in more of the soup (leave no less than half an inch from the top of the pan to avoid overflowing)
- Distribute prepared mashed potatoes across the top and smooth with a rubber spatula
- Cook covered with foil in the oven for 35 minutes (put your pan on a cookie sheet to capture any overbubble)
- Remove foil, sprinkle cheddar cheese across the potatoes, and cook another 10 - 15 minutes. Contents should be bubbling when done. You may further brown the cheese and potatoes by broiling for 2 to 3 minutes. Keep a close eye on the browning so that it doesn’t burn
- Allow the Shepherd’s Pie to rest for 5 - 10 minutes before serving
