Sweet Potato Shepherd’s Pie
This 30-minute meal packs in lean protein from the turkey, lots of vegetables, and healthy carbs from the sweet potatoes.
Ingredients:
2 large sweet potatoes (about 9 ounces each), peeled and diced
|
Cooking spray
|
1 small onion, diced
|
2 cloves garlic, minced
|
1.25 pounds lean ground turkey
|
14.5-ounce can diced tomatoes
|
16-ounce bag frozen mixed vegetables (carrots, corn, peas and green beans)
|
1 tablespoon yellow mustard |
2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
|
1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper |
2 teaspoons corn starch
|
1 tablespoon cold water
|
2 tablespoons trans-fat free margarine
|
Instructions:
1 | Place sweet potatoes in steam basket in a medium pot with 2 cups water. Bring to a boil, reduce heat, and simmer. Cover and steam until tender, about 15 minutes. |
2 | While potatoes are cooking, spray a large sauté pan with cooking spray. Add onions and sauté over medium-high heat for 3 minutes or until onions look clear. Add garlic and sauté for 30 seconds. Remove from pan and set aside. |
3 | Add turkey and cook until brown, about 6-7 minutes. Add onions back to pan and stir to mix. |
4 | Add diced tomatoes, mixed vegetables, yellow mustard, Worcestershire, and black pepper. Bring to a simmer.
|
5 | In a small bowl, mix together corn starch and water. Add to turkey mixture and stir. Let simmer for 5 more minutes. |
6 | Meanwhile, drain the sweet potatoes. Place sweet potatoes in a medium bowl and mash with a potato masher. Add margarine and whisk until smooth. |
7 | Preheat broiler. Pour cooked turkey mixture evenly into an 11x14 inch pan or medium casserole dish. Spread sweet potatoes evenly on top of turkey mixture. |
8 | Broil for 5 minutes. |
