RECIPE: Turkey Shepherd's Pie - (8 Points+)

Turkey Shepherd's Pie

.

"Shepherd's pie", a.k.a "cottage pie" is a type of savory pie made popular in the United Kingdom and Ireland. It is a dish of minced meat with mashed potato on top.

Fun fact: The name "shepherd's pie" was first used in the 1870's, because the dish was ordinarily made with lamb. A shepherd looks after sheep. And now you know.

In our version, we replace the mashed potatoes with steamed cauliflower, saving us points, while still making sure our taste buds are happy with us. Ok, let's do this.

Step 1:    Brown 1 package (20 oz.) of Jennie-O Lean Turkey, 93% Fat Free.

Step 2:    Add carrots and green beans and continue cooking for 5 minutes.

Step 5:   While mixture is simmering, steam 1 head of cauliflower.  You can also use a 16 ounce of frozen cauliflower.

Step 6.    Divide mixture evenly into 4 ramekins or into an 8x8 dish.
