Healthy Shepherd's Pie image

Healthy Shepherd's Pie made with Chicken or Turkey. I received an email this morning on our food service professionals board (www.RestaurantBeast.com ) requesting a recipe for something on the healthier side for St. Patrick's Day and thought I'd share here. Ground turkey and ground chicken actually make a GREAT Healthy Shepherd's Pie.

This shepherd's pie is a great way to use up leftover vegetables. I always have a bunch of carrots and peas in my fridge, so this recipe is perfect for me.

I love that this recipe uses ground turkey instead of beef. It's a healthier option and it still tastes great.
