Shepherd's Pie

Shepherd's Pie

1 (16-oz) package frozen mixed vegetables
1/2 - 1 cup cubed cooked turkey meat
1 (12-oz) jar turkey gravy (or left over homemade if you have it)
1/2 tsp. ground sage
1 (20-oz) container prepared refrigerated mashed potatoes (or 2 1/2 c. left over potatoes)
1/4 lb. shredded cheddar cheese (or swiss for a tangier taste)

Heat oven to 350* Grease a 2 qt. round casserole dish. Cook vegetables according to package directions. Drain. Combine vegetables, turkey, gravy & sage in a prepared casserole dish.

Prepare mashed potatoes according to directions, but omit butter/margarine. Spoon potatoes over turkey mixture. Sprinkle top with grated cheese.

Bake for 25-30 minutes or until heated through.

*to make your potatoes festive, add a few drops of green food coloring in honor of St. Patrick's Day.

** I added a few slices of jellied cranberry sauce before adding my potatoes. This gave it a Thanksgiving-y taste.
