Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon avocado oil
- 1 medium onion minced
- 2 medium carrots minced
- 2 talks celery minced
- 2 tablespoons tomato paste
- 4 cloves garlic minced
- 3 cups shredded turkey
- 1 ½ cups frozen peas
- ¼ cup chicken stock
- 2 teaspoons thyme
- salt and pepper to taste
- 6 cups mashed potatoes see notes
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350 degrees.
- Heat the oil over medium-high heat in a large ovenproof skillet. (See notes) Add the onion and cook until it begins to soften, about 3 minutes. Add the carrots and celery and cook until they soften, about 5 minutes.
- Push the veggies to the side of the pan then add the tomato paste to the middle. Let it cook for 2 minutes, until it begins to smell sweet. Mix the veggies into the tomato paste then add the garlic and cook for 1 minute. Remove the pan from the heat.
- Add the shredded turkey, peas, chicken stock, and thyme to the pan. Mix then season to taste with salt and pepper.
- Spread the mashed potatoes over the top then bake for 25 minutes.
Notes
- If you don't have leftover mashed potatoes, boil 4 peeled and quarted Russet potatoes until soft. Drain the water and mash with butter, salt, and either cream or chicken stock.
- Cold mashed potatoes are quite firm. You may find it easier to warm them slightly or let them sit at room temperature for a while before spreading them on top of the turkey.
- If you don't have a large, ovenproof skillet, you can transfer the turkey and veggies to a baking dish.
