Ingredients

• 500 grams Ground turkey
• 1 medium Yellow onion, finely chopped
• 2 medium Carrots, peeled and diced
• 1 cup Frozen peas
• 1 cup Gluten-free chicken or turkey stock
• 2 tablespoons Tomato paste
• 1 tablespoon Gluten-free Worcestershire sauce
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 1 teaspoon Fresh thyme, finely chopped
• 2 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
• 4 medium Russet potatoes, peeled and chopped
• 3 tablespoons Unsalted butter
• 0.5 cup Whole milk (or dairy-free alternative)
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 0.25 cup Parmesan cheese (optional, for topping)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 2

Peel and chop the russet potatoes into small, even pieces. Place them in a large pot of salted water and bring to a boil. Cook for 15-20 minutes, or until tender when pierced with a fork.

Step 3

While the potatoes are cooking, heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the chopped onion, carrots, and garlic, and sauté for 5 minutes until softened.

Step 4

Add the ground turkey to the skillet and cook until browned, breaking it up with a spoon as it cooks, about 8 minutes.

Step 5

Stir in the tomato paste, gluten-free Worcestershire sauce, chicken or turkey stock, fresh thyme, salt, and pepper. Mix well and let it simmer for 5-7 minutes. Stir in the frozen peas and cook for another 2 minutes, then remove from heat.

Step 6

Once the potatoes are cooked, drain them and return them to the pot. Add the butter, milk (or dairy-free alternative), salt, and pepper. Mash until smooth and creamy.

Step 7

Transfer the turkey mixture to an oven-safe baking dish and spread it out in an even layer.

Step 8

Spoon the mashed potatoes on top of the turkey mixture and spread evenly. If desired, sprinkle Parmesan cheese on top for extra flavor.

Step 9

Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the top is lightly golden and the filling is bubbling around the edges.

Step 10

Remove from the oven and let it cool for about 5 minutes before serving. Enjoy your hearty and delicious gluten-free turkey cottage pie!
