Preparation Steps
- Preheat oven to 400°F.
- For the sweet potatoes: Boil sweet potatoes and garlic in a pot of salted water until cooked and soft. Drain and mash with chicken broth, milk, sour cream, salt and pepper, to taste.
- For the filling: In a large skillet brown the ground turkey about 5 minutes; season with 1 teaspoon salt and pepper. When cooked, set aside on a plate.
- Add olive oil to the pan, then add the onion and sauté one minute. Add the celery, parsnip, salt and pepper to taste; cook about 12 minutes, until celery is soft.
- Add garlic and mushrooms; sauté another 3-4 minutes. Add the flour and pepper and mix well.
- Add frozen vegetables, chicken broth, tomato paste, Worcestershire sauce, rosemary, cooked turkey, and mix well. Simmer covered on low about 5-10 minutes, until thickened. Taste for salt and adjust as needed.
- Spread the meat mixture in the bottom of a 9 x 12 baking dish.
- Top with mashed sweet potatoes. Use a fork to scrape the top of the potatoes to make ridges; sprinkle with paprika. (If making ahead you can freeze at this point).
- Bake 30 to 35 minutes or until potatoes turn golden and the filling is heated through. Add more time, if cooking from refrigerator.
- Remove from oven and let it cool 10 minutes before serving.
