Prep time: 30 min
Total time: 1 h 30 min
Yield: 8 serving(s)
Ingredients: 1 1/2 lb. potatoes, peeled; Kosher Salt; 4 tbsp. melted butter; 1/4 c. milk; 1/4 c. sour cream; Freshly ground black pepper; 1 1/4 c. shredded Monterey Jack, divided; 1 tbsp. extra-virigin olive oil; 1 large onion, chopped; 2 carrots, peeled and chopped; 2 small parsnips, peeled and chopped; 2 cloves garlic, minced; 1 tsp. fresh thyme; 1 tsp. fresh sage, minced; 3/4 c. dry white wine; 1 1/2 lb. ground turkey; 3 tbsp. all-purpose flour; 3/4 c. low-sodium turkey or chicken broth; 1 tbsp. freshly chopped parsley, for garnish

Step 1 Preheat oven to 400°. Make mashed potatoes: In a large pot over high heat, cover potatoes with water and add a generous pinch of salt. Bring to a boil and cook until completely tender, 16 to 18 minutes. Drain and return to pot.

Step 2Use a potato masher to mash potatoes until smooth. Add melted butter, milk, and sour cream. Mash together until fully incorporated, then season with salt and pepper and fold in 1 cup cheese.

Step 3Make turkey mixture: In a large, ovenproof skillet over medium heat, heat oil. Add onion, carrots, parsnips, garlic, thyme, sage and cook until fragrant and softened, 5 minutes. Deglaze with wine and cook 2 minutes more. Add ground turkey and cook until no longer pink, 5 minutes more.

Step 4Sprinkle meat with flour and stir to evenly distribute. Cook 1 minute more and add turkey broth. Bring to a simmer and let mixture thicken slightly, 5 minutes.

Step 5Top beef mixture with an even layer of mashed potatoes, sprinkle with remaining cheese and bake until there is very little liquid visible and mashed potatoes are golden, about 35 minutes. Broil if desired and garnish with parsley before serving.
