Ingredients
Directions
-
Step 1
Wash hands with soap and warm water for at least 20 seconds. Wash and dry all surfaces and equipment used for food preparation. -
Step 2
Before chopping, scrub potatoes with a clean vegetable brush under cool running water. Gently rinse garlic cloves, onion, carrot and celery under cool running water before preparing these ingredients. -
Step 3
Cover potatoes and garlic with water in a pot and bring to the boil. Cook for about 15 minutes or until potatoes are very tender. Add beans and return to the boil for 1 minute. Drain well and return to pot. Using a potato masher, add milk and mash potatoes and beans until smooth; set aside and keep warm. -
Step 4
In a large nonstick skillet, heat oil over medium heat and cook onion, carrot and celery for about 5 minutes or until softened. Add turkey, thyme and pepper; cook, stirring for about 4 minutes or until turkey is browned and no longer pink. -
Step 5
Add flour and cook, stirring until flour is absorbed. Add broth, tomato paste, Worcestershire and bay leaves; bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer, stirring occasionally for about 8 minutes or until thickened. Remove bay leaves and pour mixture into an 8 cup (2 L) casserole dish. Spoon potato mixture over top to cover evenly. -
Step 6
Bake in a preheated 400 F (200 C) oven for about 20 minutes or until potatoes are lightly golden and filling is bubbling. -
Step 7
Refrigerate all leftovers within 2 hours, or sooner if they are in a warm location.
Tips
