Turkey Shepherds Pie

This meal is so hearty, the Hubs and I really enjoyed this one!

Ingredients: 2 lbs of ground turkey, small chopped onion, 1 (.87 oz) packet brown gravy mix, 1  can  (14.5 oz) fire-roasted tomatoes with garlic, 1 tsp salt, 1/2 tsp  cinnamon, 1/2 tsp cumin, 1/2 tsp paprika, 2 containers (24 oz each) refrigerated country-style masked potatoes, 1/4 cup plus 2 Tbsp heavy whipping cream, 4 Tbsp chopped chives (divided) 

Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Use cooking spray to grease 13 x 9 baking dish.
Brown turkey with onions in a skillet over medium-high heat. Drain and set meat aside.

In the same skillet, prepare gravy per packet instructions. Add tomatoes and the next 4 ingredients- stir well.
Add the turkey/onion mixture back into skillet. Stir to coat. Pour into the 13 x 9.

In a large bowl, mix potatoes and cream with an electric mixer until smooth. Stir in 3 Tbsp chives.

Spread potatoes over the meat mixture.

Bake 25 minutes or until potatoes are lightly golden, sprinkle with remaining chives.

We loved this meal! While it is savory, their is an extra warmth that comes with the cinnamon.

I found this recipe in the Sandra Lee magazine this month. I used turkey, but they used lamb, which would give this a really unique flavor.

La Bonne Vie Y'all!
