Turkey Mince Cottage Pie With Sweet Potato Topping Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 200°C Heat the oil in a pan and add the onion, carrot and celery and stir so that all the vegetables are coated. Cover and cook over a low heat for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
• Add the turkey mince and cook over a medium heat, stirring all the time to break up any clumps, until it changes colour. Stir in the flour.
• Add the stock, herbs and tomato ketchup and simmer for 5 minutes. Put in an ovenproof dish.
• While the meat is cooking, boil the sweet potato until tender. Drain and mash with the butter. Spread over the meat and bake for 15 minutes.

Steps:

• Boil potatoes until tender, 15 to 20 minutes. While potatoes are cooking, gather other ingredients.
• Mash potatoes with butter and milk. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Set aside.
• Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
• Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat; stir in onion. Saute onion until it has softened and turned translucent, about 5 minutes. Stir in ground turkey, carrot, mushrooms, parsley, thyme, garlic, and chicken bouillon. Cook and stir until meat is broken up and cooked through. Add salt and pepper to taste. Stir in flour and cook for 1 minute more.
• Transfer meat mixture to a deep dish pie pan or casserole dish. Spread mashed potatoes over meat, and swirl with a fork.
• Bake in preheated oven until tops of mashed potatoes are lightly browned, about 30 minutes.

Steps:

• For the base: heat half of the oil in a pan, add the onion and fry until it starts to soften, then add the garlic, celery and carrot and cook until soft. Meanwhile, heat the remaining oil in a separate frying pan and fry the mince in batches, scooping each batch out with a slotted spoon and leave any excess oil behind.
• Add the mince to the veg, then stir in the tomato purée and cook for 1 min. Stir in the passata and bring to a simmer. Cover and cook over a very low heat for 1½-2 hrs, then add the milk and cook for 30 mins. If you're making the base ahead of time, you can leave it to cool at this stage then freeze for up to a month. (Defrost fully before using in the next step.)
• To finish the recipe, heat more oil in a pan and fry another onion until it starts to soften. Add the carrot and celery and fry until tender. Add the thyme and bay and cook for 1 min, then tip in the mince base and bring to a simmer. Cover and cook for 20 mins (take off the lid towards the end if it's not thick enough).
• Heat oven to 180C/160C fan/gas 4. Cook the sweet potatoes in simmering water until tender, drain well, then add the milk and mash the potatoes.
• Tip the meat mixture into a casserole dish and level it out (fish out the thyme and bay and discard), then pile the potato mixture on top and spread it out. Cook for 30 mins or until the top begins to brown.

Steps:

• Saute the fresh carrots,onion, celery and mushrooms until tender in a large pot.
• Blend the soft butter and the 2 T. flour into a paste.
• Pour the stock into the pot with the veggies. Bring to a simmer.
• Stir in the flour/butter past, stirring constantly.
• When the mixture is the thickness you want, put in the peas and turkey.
• Lightly grease a 2 quart casserole dish, pour in the mixture.
• Preheat the oven to 350°F.
• Now, if your leftover mashed potatoes are too stiff, add some milk and an egg to loosen them a bit. Spread over the turkey covering completely. I like to add chives to the potatoes for an extra flavor.
• Bake for 35 mn.
• Enjoy!

Steps:

• In a large pot of boiling, salted water, cook potatoes until fork tender. Drain & pour back into hot pot. Add cream cheese, butter, milk & salt & mash well until potatoes are fluffy. Cover pot & keep potatoes warm.
• Meanwhile, while potatoes are cooking, in a large skillet heat oil over medium heat. Add onion, celery & carrot & cook, stirring, until vegetables begin to soften. Crumble ground turkey over vegetables & cook until meat loses it's pink color.
• Sprinkle flour over cooked turkey & stir to combine. Dissolve turkey base in the boiling water & stir into meat. Simmer, stirring, about five minutes, until mixture thickens slightly.
• Pour meat filling into a 2-3 quart casserole & sprinkle peas over. Carefully spread warm mashed potatoes over filling, sealing potatoes to edge of dish.
• Bake in preheated 350 degree oven for 30 minutes, until heated through & bubbly at edge of dish. Remove from oven & sprinkle cheese on top. Bake an additional 5 minutes, just until cheese melts.
