Growing up, Shepherd's Pie was my favorite meal! I requested it often for my birthday dinner! The first night we had this version I had my kids try to name ALL the veggies in this meal! It was a fun quiz! ;) And I dare say I like this version EVEN MORE than the one I grew up on! YUM!
Ingredients:
1 head of cauliflower
1 large onion, cut into 4ths
2 cloves garlic
1 medium fennel bulb, cut into 4ths
2 carrots, peeled and cut into chunks
8 ounces mushrooms, chopped
1 lb ground turkey
1 1/4 tsp salt
1/8 plus 1/4 tsp ground black pepper
6 ounces canned tomato paste
2 C frozen green beans
Dash of cayenne (optional)
1 can cannellini or other white beans
Monteray Jack Cheese, shredded
Directions:
Steam Cauliflower. Once soft, drain then return to the pot and add the drained can of white beans, 1/4 tsp pepper and 1/4 tsp salt. Then smash together (this is your "mashed potatoes" for the top)
Meanwhile, in another pan on the stovetop brown ground turkey. Add mushrooms. Once cooked through add the tomato paste and green beans.
In a blender place the onion, garlic, fennel bulb, and carrots. Pulse until finely chopped! (Or blended is fine too) Pour this mixture into the ground turkey mix on the stovetop. All of this will be poured into the bottom of a 9X13 pan. Top with mashed cauliflower blend, then monteray jack cheese.
Bake at 375 for 20-30 min!
