Ingredients

• 500 grams lean ground beef or turkey
• 1 medium, finely chopped onion
• 1 medium, diced carrot
• 1 diced celery stalk
• 2 cloves, minced garlic
• 1 tablespoon tomato paste
• 250 milliliters low-sodium beef broth
• 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
• 1 tablespoon, chopped parsley
• 800 grams, peeled and cubed potatoes
• 125 milliliters reduced-fat milk
• 2 teaspoons olive oil
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F).

Step 2

In a large pan, heat 1 teaspoon of olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion, carrot, and celery. Cook until the vegetables are soft, about 5 minutes.

Step 3

Add the minced garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant.

Step 4

Add the lean ground beef to the pan. Cook until browned, breaking it apart with a spoon, about 10 minutes.

Step 5

Stir in the tomato paste, low-sodium beef broth, and Worcestershire sauce. Season with half the salt and pepper. Let the mixture simmer on low heat for about 10 minutes, or until most of the liquid has evaporated. Stir in the chopped parsley and remove from heat.

Step 6

Meanwhile, place the cubed potatoes in a pot and cover with water. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat and simmer until the potatoes are tender, about 15 minutes.

Step 7

Drain the potatoes and return them to the pot. Add the reduced-fat milk and 1 teaspoon of olive oil. Mash until smooth, then season with the remaining salt and pepper.

Step 8

Spread the meat mixture evenly in a baking dish, then layer the mashed potatoes over the top, smoothing with a spatula.

Step 9

Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake for 30 minutes, or until the top is slightly golden.

Step 10

Allow the hachis parmentier to cool slightly before serving.
