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!!!!!

Hello:
I live with my husband (of 41 years) way out in the toolies.
We have three grown sons--no grandchildren.
I'm an avid reader, writer, and I enjoy cooking. Currently, I'm resuming herb and vegetable gardening after a long hiatus.
Desert gardening is tricky. Winter is our main garden season. This year I'm experimenting with large desert style cold frames so I can grow winter vegetables September through February.
I'm keeping my fingers crossed
