In honor of St.Patrick...

I made Shepherd's Pie...a light version of course! I made a half of the recipe below.

Skinny Shepherd's Pie

1 lb lean ground turkey
1 medium onion, chopped
2 large carrots, chopped
2 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
2 tbsp Italian style tomato paste
1 tsp rosemary
1 tsp oregano
1 tsp thyme
1 tsp garlic powder
salt & pepper to taste
1 cup fat-free, reduced sodium beef broth
1/2 cup frozen peas
1/2 cup frozen corn

For the topping:
2 large potatoes
1/2 cup fat-free milk
1 tbsp light butter

Directions:
In a large pot coated with non-stick cooking spray, saute onions and carrots until softened (keep coating with cooking spray to prevent burn). Turn up heat to medium-high and add turkey; cook until no longer pink. Add Worcestershire sauce, tomato paste, herbs/spices and broth. Reduce heat and simmer uncovered for 15 minutes. Add peas and corn.

While sauce is simmering, bring a separate large pot of water to boil. Add potatoes, reduce heat to a simmer and cook until tender. Drain water. Add milk and butter. Mash with a potato masher until smooth. Salt to taste.

Pour sauce into an 11-inch by 7-inch baking dish. Top with potatoes. Sprinkle with 1/3 cup reduced-fat cheese if you like.



Bake in a preheated 400 degree oven for 20-25 minutes.



I sure did top my piece with some ketchup! Enjoy!!
