Turkey Shepherds Pie with Leftover Mashed Potatoes

- Whisk flour into butter and onions and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes.
- Slowly whisk broth into flour until smooth, add thyme, salt and pepper and bring to a slow simmer.
- Add meat and vegetables.
- Simmer for 10-15 minutes.
- Transfer turkey mixture to a deep-dish pie plate or shallow casserole dish placed on a baking sheet.
- Spoon warmed mashed potatoes over top, and, using the back of a spoon, make an even layer with the potatoes.
- Then put the pans into the oven and bake 20-25 minutes, until top is golden brown and filling is bubbly.
