Ingredients
- 500 grams Ground turkey (cooked and seasoned)
- 4 cups Mashed potatoes
- 225 grams Cream cheese
- 1 cup Shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 cup Frozen peas
- 0.5 cup Cranberry sauce
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 0.25 cup Milk
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Chopped parsley (for garnish)
Directions
Step 1
In a bowl, combine the cooked and seasoned ground turkey with 2 tablespoons of milk to ensure a soft consistency.
Step 2
In a separate bowl, mix the mashed potatoes with unsalted butter, cream cheese, and the remaining milk until smooth and fluffy. Add salt and black pepper, adjusting seasoning to taste.
Step 3
Line an 8-inch springform pan with plastic wrap, ensuring the edges hang over the sides for easy removal.
Step 4
Press half of the ground turkey mixture evenly into the bottom of the pan to form the first layer of the cake.
Step 5
Spread a layer of mashed potatoes (about 2 cups) evenly over the turkey mixture.
Step 6
Scatter the frozen peas evenly over the mashed potatoes as the next layer.
Step 7
Add the remaining ground turkey mixture on top, pressing gently to create an even layer.
Step 8
Top the turkey layer with the remaining mashed potatoes and smooth the surface with a spatula.
Step 9
Refrigerate the assembled 'cake' for at least 1 hour to firm up and stabilize the layers.
Step 10
Carefully remove the cake from the springform pan and transfer it to a serving plate.
Step 11
Sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese over the top and garnish with chopped parsley.
Step 12
Optionally, serve slices with a dollop of cranberry sauce on the side for a festive touch.
