Turkey Chili And Sweet Potato Shepherds Pie Recipes

TURKEY CHILI SHEPHERD'S PIE WITH A SWEET POTATO TOPPER

Steps:

• Place the potatoes in a large pot, cover with cold water, and bring to a boil. Salt the water and cook until tender, 12 to 15 minutes. Drain and return the potatoes to the hot pot, then mash with the butter, orange zest, and crème fraîche or sour cream. Season with salt, pepper, and nutmeg to taste.
• While the potatoes are coming to a boil, heat a chili pot with the EVOO over medium-high to high heat. Add the turkey and brown, breaking up the meat, then add the onion and cook for 2 to 3 minutes while you chop the chile peppers, bell pepper, and garlic. Add the peppers and garlic to the pot, season with the spices, salt, and black pepper, and cook for 8 to 10 minutes more. Stir in the tomato paste for 1 minute, then add the stock and simmer for a few minutes longer to thicken and combine the flavors.
• Preheat the broiler.
• Place the chili in a casserole dish, spread the mashed sweet potatoes on top, and cover with the cheddar cheese. Brown under the broiler until golden.
