  • 2 tablespoons ketchup
  • 3 tablespoon Worcestershire
  • 1 1/2 cups beef broth
  • 3 teaspoons all-purpose flour
  • 2 tablespoon milk
  • 3/4 cup frozen peas

Instructions

  • <span></span><span></span>Preheat oven to 425 degrees F. Heat oil in a large skillet over medium high heat. Once the oil is hot add the garlic, carrots, celery, onion and thyme. Cook until tender, about 5 minutes. Add the ground turkey. Cook until crumbly and cooked through. Stir in the ketchup and Worcestershire sauce and cook until lightly caramelized.
  • In a small bowl or glass measuring cup, whisk together the beef broth and flour together. Whisk together until incorporated and no lumps. With the heat on medium, slowly add the beef broth mixture to the skillet. Cook until the mixture starts to thicken, about 2-3 minutes (your meat mixture should be at a low boil for it to thicken up). Add the milk and mix to combine all the flavors.
  • Stir in the peas and tomatoes. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Turn heat to low until your ready to assemble.

Bring the potatoes to a boil, lower the heat and simmer until tender. Drain and return to the pot to the stove over low heat. Smash the potatoes a few times before add any of the other ingredients. This will allow the potatoes to dry out a little bit. Add the butter, milk and 1/3 cup shredded cheese, mixing and mashing everything together. Add 1 chopped scallion and season with salt and pepper to taste.</span></span>
  • Place 3-4 large bowls on top of a baking sheet. Scoop in the meat mixture evenly and top with mashed potatoes. Bake until potatoes are lightly browned and the turkey meat is bubbly around the edges, about 10-15 minutes.
  • Sprinkle remaining cheese and scallion on top.
  • Serve and enjoy!
