Ingredients Method

Ingredients
  

  • 2 pounds ground turkey meat
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 12 cloves garlic chopped
  • 1 large shallot chopped
  • 1 large white onion chopped
  • 2 cups carrots sliced
  • 1/4 cups celery sliced
  • 1 large zucchini cubed
  • 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
  • 3 cups cooked mashed sweet potatoes
  • 1/4 teaspoons salt
  • Pepper
  • Italian seasoning

Method
 

  1. Saute the garlic, shallots and onion together in oil.
  2. When the onions are translucent, turkey, carrots, celery, zucchini and balsamic vinegar and continue to cook until the veggies are cooked most of the way. They don’t have to be completely cooked, because they will cook the rest of the way in the oven.
  3. When that is finished cooking, transfer to a 9x13 casserole dish.
  4. Smooth the potatoes over the meat in the casserole dish. Drag a fork lightly across the top to ‘rough up’ the surface a bit for baking.
  5. Bake at 350 degrees F. for approximately 30 minutes until it’s nice and bubbly.
  6. Cut into 12 sections and allow to cool a bit before serving.
