Sweet Potato and Turkey Shepherd's Pie

Directions

1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Lightly grease a 2-quart, deep-dish casserole pan.
2. Place the sweet potato, russet potato, and carrot each in separate saucepans. Pour enough water into each saucepan to cover the vegetables. Place each saucepan over medium heat and bring to a boil. Cook each until tender enough to pierce with a fork, 5 to 7 minutes; drain. Set the carrots aside.
3. Place the drained sweet potato and russet potato in a large mixing bowl; mash lightly. Add the egg substitute and sour cream. Blend the potato mixture with an electric hand mixer set to medium until smooth and fluffy, about 2 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. Set aside.
4. Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Cook the turkey in the hot oil until browned, 4 to 5 minutes. Add the onion, celery, garlic, 1 teaspoon thyme, and poultry seasoning. Cook until the turkey is cooked through and no longer pink. Increase the heat to medium-high. Pour the chicken stock into the turkey mixture. Whisk together the hot milk and flour until smooth. When the chicken stock begins to boil, add the flour mixture to the stock and stir until it thickens. Remove from heat and stir in Worcestershire sauce and browning sauce.
5. Pour the turkey mixture into the bottom of the prepared casserole dish. Sprinkle the stuffing mix over the turkey mixture. Arrange the carrots, peas, and corn atop the stuffing mix. Season with thyme, salt and pepper. Spoon the potato mixture over the vegetables, spreading to cover all the way to the edges of the dish. Sprinkle with nutmeg.
6. Bake in preheated oven until top is slightly browned, about 35 minutes. Allow to rest 30 minutes before serving.

"We have a tradition of having shepherd's pie and angel food cake for Christmas dinner. It is easy to make ahead, and it's well...shepherd's and angels, get it? But I wanted a more flavorful festive re..." See morecipe. After searching through a couple dozen, I chose this one. It's healthy, delicious and had all the wonderful aromas and flavors of a Thanksgiving or Christmas dinner. I had some left over mushrooms, and I mixed it with the meat. This will be my Christmas Eve Shepherd's pie for years to come! Thank you very much."

"This total comfort food for me!! This recipe was deelish. My husband ate leftovers of this for days (which is hard to get him to do). I made this almost like the recipe states..except that I didn't..." See more use the white potato. I used about 4 LARGE sweet potatoes that I boiled until soft..mashed with some butter and a little bit of sour cream. This made a LOT of mashed sweets, but I had a little cooks treat while the casserole was baking. I sauted the onions, garlic, and carrot in some oil..then removed and browned the ground turkey..added the cooked vege's back in and added some corn and peas. I also added about 2 cups of chicken broth and then let this cook for a little bit. I then added a slurry of cornstarch to the turkey mixture and let that thicken. I added poultry seasoning, salt and pepper, some parsley. This turned out really well and I'm sure that I'll make this again. Its relatively healthy and tasty and sure to please. I bet kids would like it too :)"
