Ingredients
Scale
- 1 lb ground turkey
- 1 medium onion, finely chopped
- 1 cup carrots, diced
- 1 cup frozen peas
- 1 cup low-sodium chicken broth
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp dried thyme
- 2 cups mashed potatoes (prepared with butter and milk)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and prepare a baking dish with nonstick cooking spray.
- In a large skillet over medium heat, sauté chopped onions and diced carrots until tender, about five minutes.
- Add ground turkey to the skillet and cook until browned, approximately six to eight minutes. Season with garlic powder and dried thyme.
- Pour in chicken broth and stir in frozen peas. Let simmer for five minutes.
- If using leftover mashed potatoes, stir them well. For fresh potatoes, boil peeled potatoes until fork-tender, then mash with butter and milk until creamy.
- Spread the turkey mixture evenly in your baking dish. Dollop the mashed potatoes on top and create texture using a fork.
- Bake for about 25 minutes or until bubbling at the edges and golden brown on top. Let sit for a few minutes before serving.
