Turkey (or Chicken) Sheperd’s Pie

Ingredients

* 1/4 cup plus 2 Tbs. butter or margarine
* 1 onion, cut into thin slices (this is what really makes it great)
* 3 cups chopped and cooked mixed vegetables, such as carrots, cauliflower, and peas (I usually use carrots and peas)
* 1 cup finely chopped celery, with leaves (I rarely have celery)
* 3 cups diced cooked turkey (or chicken)
* 3 Tbs. all purpose flour
* 2 cups turkey stock, or chicken stock
* 4 cups hot mashed potatoes (ummmm….only the best food EVER!)

Cooking Directions

Preheat oven to 425°F. Melt half the butter in a medium-sized skillet over medium heat. Add onion and cook until tender. Combine cooked vegetables, celery, and turkey in a casserole dish. Top with cooked onion slices. Add flour to the butter left in the skillet and cook, stirring constantly, until lightly browned. Stir in stock and cook, stirring constantly, about 5 minutes, until mixture thickens. Pour over turkey mixture. Spread mashed potatoes evenly over turkey mixture. Melt remaining butter and brush melted butter over potatoes. Bake about 25 minutes, or until potatoes are browned.
