    This turkey shepherd's pie is the ultimate comfort food and is also great for getting rid of some Thanksgiving leftovers. Shepherd's pie also reheats up very well for leftovers the next day in the microwave.

    This will be the last recipe post coming from this house. My whole kitchen is inside boxes right now and the movers are coming at 10am Wednesday morning CST. The only kitchen appliance I have out right now is my air fryer and nonstick skillet. I'll have a post update about moving coming on Saturday.

    Did you have a good Thanksgiving? It came and went fast and now pumpkin season is over with. As a food blogger, you kind of get burnt out on seeing all the posts related to pumpkin. Especially Thanksgiving dishes. By the time Thanksgiving rolls around I'm ready to order a pizza. My man friend came over and we had this lovely shepherd's pie. He loved it and prefers shepherd's pie over pot pie. The only difference between the two is that pot pie is made with pie crust and shepherd's pie is mashed potatoes. I like both, but if I had to choose I'd pick shepherd's pie any day.

    This is super duper easy to make.

    Ingredients for Shepherd's Pie

    • ½ cup of chopped carrots
    • ½ cup of chopped celery
    • ½ cup of chopped onion
    • ½ cup of frozen corn
    • 2.5 cups of leftover chopped turkey (99% fat-free cooked)
    • 2 12 oz jars of chicken gravy
    • 2 tablespoons of light butter
    • Salt and pepper to taste
    • 2 ¼ cups of leftover mashed potatoes (see notes)
    • 1 cup of Monterey Jack cheese (reduced-fat

    Optional Ingredients

    If you have leftover mashed sweet potatoes you can use that as a sub for regular mashed potatoes 

    Add some thyme, garlic,  or Worcestershire Sauce for extra flavor. 

    If you don't have any leftover turkey feel free to sub ground turkey mixture, ground lamb, or ground beef. 

    How to make Turkey Shepherd's Pie  

    Step 1: Chop up any leftover vegetables you have on hand. Carrots, Onions, Celery... Dice the turkey into cubes. Cook the veggies in a skillet with a little bit of butter.

    Step 2Add in turkey and gravy. The gravy can be leftover but I just used some store-bought gravy.

    Step 3: Pour the contents in the skillet into a casserole dish and spread any leftover mashed potatoes on top.

    Step 4: Top with cheese and heat up in the oven. This was so stinking good and would make any meat and potato lover happy. I'm going to start adding this to my menu rotation more. Enjoy!

    How is this a WW recipe? NO FOOD is off limits on WW and WW themselves stresses that a lot on their social media pages. I get this question quite a bit on Pinterest and it just bugs me when people ask that because they don’t believe that you could possibly eat this while you’re on a diet. That is one reason why I love WW. You can pretty much eat ANYTHING just as long as you stay in your daily points range for that.
