Turkey Shepherd’s pie with a kick



.
.









I like making this when I had any leftover mash. You could of course make the mash specially for the dish on the day but it’s easier any time you are making mash to make too much and use the next day following refridgeration of course.





If I want it fresh I steam my mash using 2 medium potatoes (1 white, 1 sweet potato) , peel and slice very thinly (cooks quicker) and steam for 15 minutes, turn the hob heat off and mash using the  remainder of heat left on the hob (makes for a smoother mash) with a knob of butter and 1 tbsp milk.





Per person:





Using 1tsp oil, brown 75g of turkey mince in a fry pan with half a chopped white onion stirring for 2 minutes.  Drain a small can of black eyed beans and add to the fry pan with 2 tbsp chopped tomatoes from a can and sprinkled with white pepper, 1 tsp chilli powder, 1 tsp easy mixed chillies, 3 grated garlic cloves, 1 tsp Worcestershire sauce and a dash of tabasco sauce. Simmering for 3 minutes.





Put the mix into a small round casserole dish and top with grated 75g red Leicester cheese.





Spread the mash on top using a fork to decorate. Sprinkle with freshly ground black peppercorns and bake for 25 minutes 200C / 180 fan / 350F / Gas 4.





Serve with an extra sprinkling of grated cheese and two raw tiny broccoli florets as garnish. I would advise waiting 10 minutes before eating, I’m frequently greedy and burn the roof of my mouth!
