Healthy Shepherds Pie

My family loved this! The cauliflower does not diminish the taste and makes it so healthy.

This is another recipe from Iowagirleats.com but I changed a couple of things. The picture is her version because I forgot to take a picture.

For the mashed potatoes:

2 large potatoes
1 head cauliflower
2 Tablespoons butter
salt & pepper to taste

Peel and cut potatoes in 2 inch cubes. Cut up cauliflower. Boil potatoes for 5 minutes then add the cauliflower and cook for about 10 more minutes, or until very tender. Drain and "mash" the mixture. I used my Kitchen aid mixer. Warm the milk and butter and add to the potato mixture. Season with salt and pepper.

For the filling:

1 lb. ground turkey
1/3 cup chopped onion
2 cloves garlic, minced
salt & pepper
3 Tablespoons flour
2 Tablespoons  tomato paste
1 Tbs. each soy sauce & worchestershire sauce
1 can chicken broth
2 cups frozen vegetable medley

Brown the meat with onions and garlic. Season with salt and pepper. Add the flour when the turkey is cooked. Next add the soy sauce, worchestershire sauce, tomato paste, and chicken broth.
Cook for 5 minutes then add the frozen vegetables.

Put this in a casserole dish and top with potatoes and sprinkle with some cheddar cheese ( I used reduced fat, about 1/2 cup), season with more salt and pepper and bake at 400 degrees until bubbly ( about 20-30 minutes). Pin It

  1. I make shepherd's pie all the time, but this is a good idea to mix cauliflower with the mashed potatoes.
