Shepherd’s Pie


Serves: 8
Total Calories: 261

Ingredients

4 medium potatoes, peeled and cubed
1 pound ground skinless turkey breast
2 carrots, thinly sliced
1 medium onion, chopped
1 red bell pepper, chopped
1 stalk celery, chopped
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 (10 3/4-ounce) can low-fat, low-sodium cream of chicken soup
1/2 cup low-fat milk (1%)
1 cup frozen corn
1 cup fat-free sour cream
2 tablespoons minced fresh parsley

Directions:

1. Preheat the oven to 350°F. Spray a 9 x 13-inch pan with nonstick cooking spray.

2. In a medium saucepan, add the potatoes and enough water to cover by 1 inch. Cook over medium heat until tender, about 20 minutes.

3. Meanwhile, in a large nonstick skillet, cook the turkey until browned, about 5-7 minutes. Add the carrots, onion, pepper, celery, and garlic and cook until the vegetables are tender but firm, about 10 minutes. Blend in the soup, milk, and corn.

4. Add the sour cream to the drained potatoes mash until fluffy.

5. Spread the meat and vegetable mixture in the prepared pan. Spread the potatoes evenly on top.

6. Bake, uncovered, until heated through and the potatoes are browned, about 40 minutes. (For crustier potatoes, place under the broiler for 1-2 minutes after baking.) Sprinkle with parsley.

NOTE: If you do not have a non-stick skillet, use a regular one and spray it with non-stick cooking spray. This may result in some of the turkey sticking to the bottom of the pan. Don't despair! This wonderful browning can enhance the flavor of the pie. After cooking the turkey, add 1 Tbsp of water to the skillet and scrape the bottom. Add the browned mixture to the rest of the meat and vegetables. You'll be amazed at how easily the browning (essence) comes off the pan easier than scrubbing later, and the flavor becomes part of the dish.
