"Shepherd's Pie". With ground turkey and cauliflower mash

I twist on Shepherd's Pie, a healthier version of the traditional comfort food.  Using ground turkey with some fresh shredded and frozen veggies topped off with cauliflower purée.

What you need:

1 pkg ground turkey (or chicken)

1/4 cup finely chopped onion

1 cup shredded carrot

1 cup shredded zucchini 

1 cup water

1-2 tbs Worcester sauce

1-2 tbs flour or 1-2 tsp cornstarch

Salt and pepper to taste

1 head of cauliflower

1-2 tbs margarine (vegan margarine or olive oil)

1 cup frozen peas

1 cup frozen corn

In a large skillet over medium high heat brown the turkey with the onion.  When the turkey is almost completely browned add in the grated carrot and zucchini. 

While you are browning the turkey chop the cauliflower into florets and boil in a large sauce pan until tender.  Once it is tender drain the water add margarine, salt and pepper and purée using an immersion blender or transfer to a food processor.

When the turkey is browned and carrot and zucchini are added put the mixture into a casserole dish, add frozen peas and corn and set aside.  Leave the skillet on the stove over medium/high heat and add water and Worcester sauce.  Bring to a boil then add flour or cornstarch until desired thickness is reached.  Add salt and pepper and pour over turkey mixture in the casserole dish.  Top with cauliflower purée and bake in the overnight at 350 for about half an hour or until top begins to brown.

Enjoy!
