Ingredients
- 1/2 tsp black pepper
- 1½ lb 90% lean ground turkey
- 1½ lb sweet potatoes
- 1 bag frozen peas and carrots
- 1 count onion
- 3 cloves garlic
- 3 tbsp butter
- 1 can (14.5 oz) low-sodium chicken broth
- 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
- 1 tsp salt
Steps
- Peel and cut sweet potatoes into 1-inch chunks, then boil in salted water for 12 minutes until fork-tender; drain and mash with 2 tablespoons butter, salt and pepper.
- While potatoes cook, dice the onion and mince garlic, then heat 1 tablespoon butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat and brown the turkey for 5 minutes until no pink remains, breaking it into small pieces; drain any fat.
- Add onion and garlic to the turkey, cook 2 minutes, then stir in frozen peas and carrots, broth, and Worcestershire sauce; simmer uncovered about 10 minutes until most of the liquid is gone and vegetables are hot.
- Transfer the turkey mixture to a 9x13-inch baking dish, top evenly with mashed sweet potatoes, and broil on high for 3 minutes until lightly browned and the turkey reaches 165°F. Let rest 2 minutes, then divide into 4 servings.
- Picky eater tip: serve the turkey, mashed sweet potatoes and vegetables separately, plain.
- Make ahead: assemble the pie up to 1 day ahead and keep covered in the fridge, then broil a few minutes longer until hot (165°F).
On the side: Garlicky green beans (10 min)
12 oz green beans
- Trim the green beans. Cook in a skillet with a splash of olive oil over medium-high heat, 6 to 8 minutes, until bright and just tender.
- Stir in a minced garlic clove for the last minute and season with salt.
