Ever want to recreate a dish? Or put a healthy spin on an old classic? Well that is what I have done!

Sweet Potato and Turkey Shepherd's Pie

Pictures updated August 2015

Your traditional shepherd’s pie consists of ground beef, vegetables, cheese and mashed potatoes. I decided to make it a little healthier by substituting the beef with ground turkey, take out the cheese (shocker I know) and use sweet potatoes instead of Yukon potatoes. What do you think?

I was a little apprehensive at first with thinking ground turkey could cut it – but it is truly enhanced by just the small additions of the spices, Worcestershire sauce and tomato paste.

And I always have frozen vegetables on hand. It is not only a great way to save money but if you are spending a lot more time on an entree then you can toss so veggies next to it and call it a day!
