Submitted by Dustbunni

"I adapted this recipe from one my husband used to make with ground beef. I prefer ground turkey. This pie slices easily. Serve it with a salad and bread."

I am resubmitting a new review because the recipe has been corrected. I have re-made this recipe after the corrections were made and would like to give it a higher rating since it came out much better with the corrections. I think this version of Shepherd's pie is much leaner version than the original recipe, which is just soooo full of fat. What I really liked about this recipe is you get all of the flavor for much less fat and cholesterol. I used 95% lean ground turkey. Also, I used mashed potatos from real potatos, not the boxed powdered potatos. Delish and lean! Thank you for sharing Dustbunni!!!!!
