Here is the recipe for turkey cottage pie:

Ingredients:

  • 1 pound ground turkey

  • 1 onion, chopped

  • 2 carrots, chopped

  • 2 celery stalks, chopped

  • 1 (14.5 ounce) can diced tomatoes, undrained

  • 1 (10.75 ounce) can condensed tomato soup

  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme

  • 1/2 teaspoon salt

  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper

  • 1 cup mashed potatoes

  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese

Instructions:

  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.

  2. In a large skillet, brown the ground turkey over medium heat. Drain off any excess fat.

  3. Add the onion, carrots, and celery to the skillet and cook until softened, about 5 minutes.

  4. Stir in the diced tomatoes, tomato soup, thyme, salt, and pepper. Bring to a simmer and cook for 5 minutes, or until thickened.

  5. Pour the turkey mixture into a 9x13 inch baking dish.

  6. Top with the mashed potatoes and sprinkle with Parmesan cheese.

  7. Bake for 20 minutes, or until the potatoes are golden brown and the filling is bubbling.

  8. Serve hot and enjoy!

Tips and tricks:

  • For a healthier option, you can use ground turkey breast instead of ground turkey.

  • You can also add other vegetables to the filling, such as mushrooms, peas, or corn.

  • If you don't have time to make mashed potatoes, you can use frozen mashed potatoes. Just thaw them according to the package directions before using.

  • To make the dish ahead of time, prepare the filling and pour it into the baking dish. Cover and refrigerate for up to 24 hours. When you are ready to bake, remove the dish from the refrigerator and let it sit at room temperature for 30 minutes. Then, top with the mashed potatoes and Parmesan cheese and bake as directed.

I hope you enjoy this recipe for turkey cottage pie! It is a hearty and delicious meal that is perfect for a cold winter night.
