Shepards Pie Recipe - Fit for a King

Our shepards pie recipe or "shepherds pie" which I think is the original and correct spelling is a great one piece meal as I call them.

A shepards pie recipe is an Irish dish and is best served with cooked cabbage.

Ingredients:

2 lb. Idaho potatoe, peeled and cubed
2 lbs. ground turkey (lamb or beef)
1 large onion, chopped fine
2 Tablespoons flour
1 can tomato paste
1 cup chicken broth, canned or fresh
1 bay leaf
1/4 teaspoon dried thyme
salt and pepper, to taste
1 Tablespoon Worcestershire Sauce
1 cup canned corn, drained
3/4 cup dry white wine (optional)
1 tablespoon corn, peanut or vegetable oil

Directions:

Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
Heat oil in skillet and add turkey (lamb or beef). Cook stirring and chopping down with side of heavy wooden spoon to break up lumps. Add onion and continue cooking and stirring until meat loses raw look. If meat seems excessively watery, drain and discard liquid. Let meat cook, stirring often, about 10 minutes.

Add flour, tomato paste, wine, broth, bay leaf, thyme, salt and pepper. Let cook stirring about 20 minutes. Stir in Worcestershire Sauce.

Mash cooked potatoes, or prepare instant potatoes.

Put drained corn in bottom of 7 cup casserole. Pour meat sauce on top. Cover with mashed potatoes and smooth over top of sauce.

Bake 30 minutes. If you like to brown the potatoe topping, place under broiler until brown.
