Lean ground turkey has significantly less saturated fat than beef. It tastes rich and earthy when simmered with chipotle chili powder. Carrots and peas brighten the filling, while yogurt, stirred into the mashed potatoes and parsnips, adds calcium.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality ingredients: Fresh vegetables, flavorful herbs, and tender turkey meat will make all the difference in the final dish.
  • Don't skimp on the onions: The caramelized onions are the star of this dish, so take the time to cook them slowly and patiently until they're deeply golden brown and sweet.
  • Use a variety of mushrooms: Different types of mushrooms will add different flavors and textures to the pie. Cremini, shiitake, and oyster mushrooms are all good choices.
  • Don't overcook the turkey: The turkey should be cooked through but still juicy, so check it regularly with a meat thermometer.
  • Make sure the mashed potatoes are fluffy: Use a ricer or potato masher to get the smoothest, fluffiest mashed potatoes. Avoid overworking the potatoes, as this will make them gluey.
  • Use a good quality cheese: A sharp cheddar or gruyère cheese will give the pie a rich, flavorful crust.

This French Onion Turkey Shepherd's Pie is a hearty, comforting dish that's perfect for a cold winter night. The rich, flavorful gravy, tender turkey, and cheesy mashed potato topping make it a surefire crowd-pleaser. With a little planning and effort, you can easily make this dish at home.
