Categories     main-dish

Time 2h10m

Yield 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 25

4 to 5 medium sweet potatoes, cooked
1 cup heavy cream
4 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
1 teaspoon ground coriander
1 teaspoon ground ginger
2 large egg yolks
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1/4 cup grated Parmesan
1/4 cup grated Pecorino-Romano
1/4 cup breadcrumbs
1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves
4 strips bacon or pancetta, diced
2 pounds ground dark meat turkey
1 Spanish onion, chopped
1 leek, washed and small diced
6 sage leaves, minced
1/4 cup pine nuts
1 1/2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon tomato paste
1/2 teaspoon ground coriander
1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
2 cups chicken stock
1 cup frozen diced carrots, thawed
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1/2 cup chopped fresh parsley

Steps:

  • For the mashed sweet potatoes: Scoop sweet potato flesh into a large bowl and mash with a fork or potato masher. Mix in the cream, butter, coriander, ginger and egg yolks. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Scrape into a pastry bag and set aside.
  • For the topping: Mix the cheeses, breadcrumbs and fresh thyme together in a bowl. Set aside.
  • For the shepherd's pie: Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.
  • Render down the bacon in a large saute pan or braiser over medium heat until crispy. Remove to a paper towel-lined plate, leaving the fat in the pan. Add the ground turkey to the pan, and cook, stirring often and breaking apart with a wooden spoon, until evenly browned, 5 to 7 minutes. Remove from pan and set aside. Add the onion, leek and sage, and cook until caramelized, another 7 to 10 minutes.
  • Stir in the pine nuts, flour, tomato paste, coriander and ginger and cook for 2 more minutes. Add the chicken stock, carrots and meat, then return to a simmer and cook until reduced and nappe (when it thickly coats the back of a spoon), another 10 to 15 minutes. Taste for seasoning.
  • Top with an even layer of the sweet potato mixture. Sprinkle evenly with the breadcrumb topping. Bake until golden brown, about 1 hour. Sprinkle with chopped parsley and serve.

Provided by Rachael Ray : Food Network

Categories     main-dish

Time 35m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 16

2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
2 pounds ground turkey or chopped leftover turkey
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
2 teaspoons poultry seasoning
2 1/2 pounds sweet potatoes, peeled and cubed
1 onion, cut into 1-inch dice
2 carrots, peeled and grated
4 ribs celery, chopped
4 tablespoons butter, divided
2 tablespoons flour
2 cups turkey or chicken stock (recommended: Kitchen Basics brand)
A few dashes Worcestershire sauce
1 (10-ounce) box frozen peas
1 very ripe banana
A few dashes hot sauce
2 cups shredded sharp yellow Cheddar

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 425 degrees F.
  • In a deep skillet or a Dutch oven heat 2 tablespoons oil over high heat. Add meat and break up with a wooden spoon, season with salt and pepper and poultry seasoning.
  • Place sweet potatoes in a pot, cover with water, cover pot, bring to a boil, salt and cook 15 minutes until tender.
  • Grate onions and carrots into the turkey. Add the celery and stir, cook 5 minutes. While vegetables are cooking, heat 2 tablespoons butter in a small pot over medium heat. Add flour to melted butter and whisk 1 minute then whisk in stock and season with salt, pepper and Worcestershire. Thicken a few minutes.
  • Stir the gravy into the turkey mixture. Stir peas into meat and turn heat off.
  • Drain potatoes and return pot to heat. Add remaining butter and melt over medium heat. Peel and slice banana and add potatoes to the pot. Season the potatoes with salt and pepper and a few dashes hot sauce. Mash potatoes and banana to combine, adjust seasoning. Top the meat with the potatoes. Cover potatoes with cheese and set in oven. Bake to melt cheese, 5 minutes.

Tips:

  • For a crispy crust: Brush the tops of the sweet potato rounds with melted butter before baking. This will help them to brown and crisp up nicely.
  • To save time: You can use a store-bought pie crust instead of making your own. Just be sure to pre-bake it according to the package directions before filling it.
  • To make it a vegetarian pot pie: Omit the turkey and add in an extra cup of vegetables, such as carrots, celery, and peas.
  • To make it a gluten-free pot pie: Use a gluten-free pie crust or make your own using a gluten-free flour blend.
  • To freeze the pot pie: Assemble the pot pie according to the recipe, but do not bake it. Cover the pie tightly with plastic wrap and freeze for up to 3 months. When you're ready to bake it, thaw it overnight in the refrigerator and then bake it according to the recipe directions.

Conclusion:

This sweet potato-topped turkey pot pie is a delicious and comforting meal that is perfect for a cold night. The creamy turkey filling is packed with flavor, and the sweet potato topping adds a touch of sweetness and crunch. This pot pie is sure to be a hit with the whole family!
