Ingredients

1× recipe · Makes 4 servings

  • 1 1/4 pounds ground turkey
  • 1 1/2 pounds Yukon Gold potatoes, peeled and cubed
  • 2 cups frozen peas
  • 3 carrots, diced
  • 1 cup low-sodium chicken broth
  • 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves
  • 1 cup shredded sharp cheddar
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil, divided
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt, divided, plus black pepper

Instructions

  1. Boil 1 1/2 pounds Yukon Gold potatoes, peeled and cubed in salted water until tender, 12 to 16 minutes. Drain, mash with 1/2 cup of the listed broth, and keep warm.

  2. Break 1 1/4 pounds ground turkey into rough pieces and season with half of 1 teaspoon kosher salt and black pepper. Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in an oven-safe skillet over medium-high. Cook the turkey, breaking it into crumbles, until it reaches 165°F.

  3. Add the remaining oil, 2 cups frozen peas and 3 carrots, diced, and the remaining sauce ingredients. Simmer until the carrots are tender and the filling is saucy, 7 to 9 minutes; season with the remaining salt and pepper.

  4. Spread the mashed potatoes over the filling, top with 1 cup shredded sharp cheddar, and broil until bubbling and spotted brown, 2 to 4 minutes. Rest 5 minutes before serving.
