nice twist on Shepherd's Pie

This was very good..I used 99% lean ground turkey and only beef broth as I didn't have any red cooking wine. I did use a few cloves of minced garlic in with the onion as we love garlic. My boyfriend was amazed at how healthy this was, because it was so good! I Thank you for the recipe! He told me to add it to the rotation :-)

I made this last night for my husband and daughter. It was delicious and hearty. Perfect for the Fall. We finished it off today for lunch. I will definitely make this again.

..But Made a Few Adjustments

Okay, I rated this a 5 because it was awesome and my husband (who was very weary of all the vegetables in this dish) absolutely could not stop making "Mmm's" of approval..that said I did make some changes..I also used lean ground turkey I also used all beef broth (didn't have any cooking wine) and we kind of oopsied on the recipe and instead of a cup of veggies I used the whole bag but it was enought to make 2- 9" round casseroles so there was leftover for my lunch and his today! Next time I make it though I will use more black pepper. Thank you for these wonderful recipes!!
