Curried Cottage Pie W/Turkey
- 3 tablespoons oil (olive or vegetable)
- 1 cup diced onion
- 1 cup carrot, peeled and chopped (I minced the carrots.)
- 12 cup diced celery, with leaves
- 1 teaspoon curry powder
- 1 cup turkey gravy
- 2 cups diced turkey
- 1 cup frozen peas
- salt and pepper
- turkey broth or low sodium chicken broth, if needed
- 3 cups mashed potatoes
- fresh cilantro, for garnish (optional)
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
- In a large skillet, heat the oil over medium-high heat.
- Add the onion, carrots, celery and curry powder.
- Saute, stirring often, until the vegetables have softened and the curry powder is very fragrant.
- Slowly add gravy, stirring until smooth.
- Stir in the turkey and peas.
- Check for seasoning and thin with broth or water if too thick.
- The turkey and vegetables should be moist, but not swimming in liquid.
- Stir the potatoes to loosen them, adding a bit of milk if they seem too stiff.
- Put the turkey mixture in a baking dish.
- Top with mashed potatoes.
- Bake for about 30 minutes, or until the mashed potatoes have begun to brown.
- Variation: If youre out of gravy, add a tablespoon of flour when the vegetables are almost cooked.
- Add 1 cup turkey or low-sodium chicken broth instead of gravy, whisking it in until smooth.
- (Optional) I garnished each serving with fresh cilantro.
- Yield is estimated.
