Ingredients

• 3 cups cooked turkey
• 2 cups gravy
• 2.5 cups mashed potatoes
• 2 cups stuffing
• 1.5 cups mixed vegetables (peas, carrots, and corn, cooked)
• 2 tablespoons butter
• 2 tablespoons milk (optional, for thinning mashed potatoes)
• 0.5 teaspoons salt
• 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 2

Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with 1 tablespoon of butter to prevent sticking.

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooked turkey, mixed vegetables, and 1.5 cups of gravy. Stir well to evenly coat the ingredients. Season with salt and black pepper to taste.

Step 4

Spread the turkey and vegetable mixture evenly across the bottom of the prepared baking dish.

Step 5

Carefully spread the stuffing in an even layer on top of the turkey and vegetable mixture, gently pressing it down to create the second layer.

Step 6

If the mashed potatoes are too thick, warm them slightly and stir in up to 2 tablespoons of milk or butter to loosen the consistency. Then spread the mashed potatoes evenly over the stuffing layer, ensuring it is fully covered.

Step 7

Use the back of a spoon or a spatula to create decorative swirls or peaks on the mashed potato layer, if desired.

Step 8

Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the mashed potatoes are lightly golden and the filling is bubbling around the edges.

Step 9

If you want a crispy top, broil for an additional 2-3 minutes, keeping a close eye to avoid burning.

Step 10

Remove the shepherd's pie from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes before serving.

Step 11

Garnish with freshly chopped parsley, if desired. Serve warm and enjoy!
