Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams Ground turkey
- 1 medium Yellow onion, finely chopped
- 2 medium Carrots, peeled and diced
- 1 cup Frozen peas
- 1 cup Gluten-free chicken or turkey stock
- 2 tablespoons Tomato paste
- 1 tablespoon Gluten-free Worcestershire sauce
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Fresh thyme, finely chopped
- 2 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
- 4 medium Russet potatoes, peeled and chopped
- 3 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 0.5 cup Whole milk (or dairy-free alternative)
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.25 cup Parmesan cheese (optional, for topping)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Peel and chop the russet potatoes into small, even pieces. Place them in a large pot of salted water and bring to a boil. Cook for 15-20 minutes, or until tender when pierced with a fork.
While the potatoes are cooking, heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the chopped onion, carrots, and garlic, and sauté for 5 minutes until softened.
Add the ground turkey to the skillet and cook until browned, breaking it up with a spoon as it cooks, about 8 minutes.
Stir in the tomato paste, gluten-free Worcestershire sauce, chicken or turkey stock, fresh thyme, salt, and pepper. Mix well and let it simmer for 5-7 minutes. Stir in the frozen peas and cook for another 2 minutes, then remove from heat.
Once the potatoes are cooked, drain them and return them to the pot. Add the butter, milk (or dairy-free alternative), salt, and pepper. Mash until smooth and creamy.
Transfer the turkey mixture to an oven-safe baking dish and spread it out in an even layer.
Spoon the mashed potatoes on top of the turkey mixture and spread evenly. If desired, sprinkle Parmesan cheese on top for extra flavor.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the top is lightly golden and the filling is bubbling around the edges.
Remove from the oven and let it cool for about 5 minutes before serving. Enjoy your hearty and delicious gluten-free turkey cottage pie!
