Ingredients

• 2 russet potatoes
• 1 lb carrots
• 1 large yellow onion
• 1 lb ground turkey
• 2 pkts turkey broth concentrate
• 10 oz peas
• kosher salt
• ground pepper
• olive oil
• all-purpose flour
• apple cider vinegar (or white wine vinegar)
• 4 tablespoons butter

Preparation

Step 1

1. Cook potatoes & carrots
Peel potatoes and carrots and cut into 1-inch pieces. Add potatoes and carrots to a large saucepan and cover with water by 1 inch. Add 1 tablespoon salt, cover, and bring to a boil. Uncover and cook until potatoes and carrots are tender, 10–12 minutes. Drain and return to saucepan.

2. Brown onion & turkey
Meanwhile, peel and finely chop onion. Heat 2 tablespoons oil in a large skillet over medium-high. Add onions and cook, stirring, until softened and golden, about 5 minutes. Add turkey, 1 teaspoon salt, and a few grinds pepper. Cook, breaking up into large pieces, until browned, 5–6 minutes.

3. Add broth & peas
To the skillet, add all of the broth concentrate, peas, and 2¼ cups water. Simmer, scraping up browned bits from the bottom of the skillet, until liquid is slightly reduced, about 5 minutes. Spoon ½ cup of broth from the skillet into a bowl and set broth aside for step 5.

4. Finish turkey filling
Preheat broiler with a rack in the upper third. Sprinkle 2 tablespoons flour over the meat mixture and stir until incorporated. Simmer until thickened, about 3 minutes. Remove skillet from heat and stir in 1 tablespoon vinegar and 2 tablespoons butter; season to taste with salt and pepper.

5. Finish & serve
Mash potatoes and carrots with reserved broth and 2 tablespoons butter; season to taste with salt and pepper. Dollop mash on top of turkey mixture and spread to an even layer. Drizzle with oil and broil on top rack until golden and bubbling around the edges, 3–5 minutes (watch closely as broilers vary). Let sit 5 minutes before serving. Enjoy!

6. Take it to the next level
Add something crisp on the side like a fresh green salad with a tangy Dijon vinaigrette or crisp-tender sautéed green beans.
