Ingredients
Instructions
-
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
-
In a large skillet, cook the ground turkey over medium heat until browned, breaking it apart with a spoon as it cooks.
-
Add the diced onion and minced garlic to the skillet with the turkey. Cook for 2-3 minutes until the onion is translucent and fragrant.
-
Stir in the diced carrots, frozen peas, thyme, rosemary, chicken broth, and tomato paste. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
-
Simmer the mixture for about 10-15 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together and the vegetables to soften. If the mixture becomes too dry, add a splash more chicken broth.
-
While the turkey and vegetable mixture is simmering, prepare the cauliflower mash topping. Steam or boil the cauliflower florets until tender, then drain well.
-
In a separate bowl, mash the cooked cauliflower with a potato masher or fork until smooth. Add in the milk, butter, salt, and pepper, and mix until well combined.
-
Once the turkey and vegetable mixture is done simmering, transfer it to a baking dish and spread the cauliflower mash evenly on top.
-
Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the cauliflower mash is lightly golden on top.
-
Remove from the oven and let it cool slightly before serving. Enjoy your Skinny Shepherd's Pie hot, garnished with fresh herbs if desired.
