Turkey Cottage Pie - cooking recipe
Ingredients
-
2 cups turkey stock, homemade, with onions, celery, carrots, turkey bones, water a bay leaf, peppercorns, etc
1 lb turkey, cooked and diced
1 onion, diced
2 carrots, sliced
1 stalk celery, sliced
4 ounces mushrooms, sliced
1 cup peas
2 tablespoons butter, soft
2 tablespoons flour
salt and pepper, to taste
2 -3 cups potatoes, mashed (leftover)
Preparation
-
Saute the fresh carrots,onion, celery and mushrooms until tender in a large pot.
Blend the soft butter and the 2 T. flour into a paste.
Pour the stock into the pot with the veggies. Bring to a simmer.
Stir in the flour/butter past, stirring constantly.
When the mixture is the thickness you want, put in the peas and turkey.
Lightly grease a 2 quart casserole dish, pour in the mixture.
Preheat the oven to 350\u00b0F.
Now, if your leftover mashed potatoes are too stiff, add some milk and an egg to loosen them a bit. Spread over the turkey covering completely. I like to add chives to the potatoes for an extra flavor.
Bake for 35 mn.
Enjoy!
