ETA: Thanks to Bobbie and Linda P for letting me know that I was missing my potatoes -- hehehe! FIXED!
I learned from a friend that in shepherds pie, you are supposed to use lamb. Makes sense, but my mom always used ground beef. I modified my shepherds pie and I use ground turkey. It is really simple, but tastes yummy and M always eats LOTS of it!
Super Simple Turkey Shepherds Pie
Ingredients:
1 lb ground turkey (or more if you prefer)
1 large can of green beans (you can buy the french cut ones or regular)
1-2 cans of cream of mushroom soup (dependent on how much meat you use)
1 tsp baking powder
1/2 stick of butter
shredded cheddar cheese
5-6 potatoes (enough to cover the top of the whole dish -- spread out -- if you like more, use more -- we love the potatoes so we always do lots)
We usually have this on Thursday night in honor of Dr. Derek Shepherd (*snickers*) so since I got this up so late, you might end up doing the same. Let me know how it goes. I like to sprinkle a bit of salt and pepper on top. Total comfort food -- YUM!
