Winter Vegetable Shepherd's Pie image

We seem to eat for comfort during the holidays...but comfort foods aren't necessarily healthy. To make a classic comfort food dish more healthy, I came up with this lovely take: turkey shepherd's pie. It's perfect for putting out on your holiday buffet table. -Ann Sheehy, Lawrence, Massachusetts

This dish was a bit too spicy for my taste. I think I'll use less chili powder next time.

I've made this dish several times and it's always a crowd-pleaser. I usually make it with ground turkey instead of lamb, and it turns out just as delicious.

I thought this dish was just okay. The vegetables were a bit mushy and the gravy was too thick. I wouldn't make it again.

I followed the recipe exactly and my shepherd's pie turned out great! The only thing I would change is to add a bit more cheese to the top.

This dish was a bit too bland for my taste. I think it needed more seasoning.
