Weight Watchers Shepherd’s Pie recipe

Ingredients
2 large potatoes, peeled and cut into 2-inch pieces
1 lb uncooked ground turkey breast
1 tablespoon reduced-calorie margarine
1/4 cup nonfat sour cream
2 teaspoons olive oil
1?8 teaspoon table salt
2 medium carrots (diced)
1 cup onion (chopped)
2 medium celery ribs, diced
2 cups canned chicken broth or 2 cups beef broth
3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon dried thyme
1 teaspoon dried rosemary, chopped
1/2 teaspoon table salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper


Preparation
1. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
2. Place the potatoes in a large saucepan and pour in enough water to cover them.
3. Set the pan over high heat and bring to a boil; reduce the heat to medium and simmer for about 10 minutes (until the potatoes are fork-tender).
4. Drain the potatoes, transfer them to a large bowl and add the margarine and sour cream.
5. Mash the potatoes until smooth, season with salt to taste and set aside.
6. Meanwhile, in a large skillet heat the oil over medium-high heat.
7. Add the carrots, onion and celery; cook for about 3 minutes (until soft).
8. Add the turkey and cook for about 5 minutes (until browned), breaking up the meat as it cooks.
9. Add the thyme, rosemary, flour, salt and pepper; stir to coat.
10. Add the broth and bring to a simmer; simmer for about 3 minutes (until the mixture starts to thicken).
11. Transfer the turkey mixture to a 9-inch, deep-dish pie plate. Spread the mashed potatoes over the top and make decorative swirls using the back of a spoon.
12. Bake for about 30 minutes, until the potatoes are golden.
13. Slice into 6 pieces and serve.
