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!
