Ingredients

Filling Ingredients

1 lb Ground turkey Brown fully in a skillet.
2 cups Mixed vegetables Can use fresh or frozen.
2 tablespoons Tomato paste
3 tablespoons Butter For added creaminess to potatoes.
4 cups Mashed sweet potatoes Seasoned with cinnamon and nutmeg.

Seasonings

1/2 teaspoon Cinnamon Enhances flavor.
1/8 teaspoon Nutmeg
Salt, to taste Add after mixing sauces and cheese.

Instructions

Preparation

Brown the ground turkey fully in a skillet, breaking it into small pieces. Drain excess fat.
Mix the browned turkey with mixed vegetables and tomato paste in the skillet until well combined.
Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).

Assembly

Spread the turkey and vegetable mixture evenly in a 9-by-13-inch baking dish.
Layer the creamy, seasoned mashed sweet potatoes generously on top of the turkey mixture.

Baking

Bake for about 25 minutes, or until the top is slightly golden and bubbling.
Continue baking if necessary until the center is hot and the edges are bubbling. If the topping browns too quickly, cover loosely with foil.
Rest for 10 minutes before serving.

Notes

For easier assembly, prepare components ahead and refrigerate. Warm individual portions covered to retain moisture. Serve with a crisp salad or steamed vegetables.
