recipe by: Frankie
Ingredients
- 1 TBSP olive oil
- 1 pound ground turkey
- 1 yellow onion, chopped
- 2 tsp dried sage
- 1 tsp granulated garlic
- 1 tsp paprika
- 1 cup corn kernels
- 2 pounds russet potatoes, peeled and cut into 1/2-inch pieces
- salt & freshly ground pepper
- 4 TBSP unsalted butter
- 1/2 cup whole milk
Directions
- Heat the oil in a large pan over medium-high heat. Add the ground turkey, onion, sage, garlic, paprika, 3/4 tsp salt, and 1/4 tsp black pepper to the pan and cook, while occasionally breaking up the turkey, until turkey is browned and onion has softened, about 7 minutes.
- Stir in the corn and 1 cup water. Use a wooden spoon to scrape any stuck on bits off the bottom of the pan then bring to a boil.
- Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer, stirring occasionally, until most of the liquid has evaporated, about 20 minutes.
- Start the potatoes while the turkey mixture simmers: Add the potatoes and 1/2 tsp salt to a large pot. Cover the potatoes with water then bring to a boil over medium-high heat.
- Reduce the heat to medium and simmer until the potatoes are tender, about 10 minutes.
- Preheat the oven to 425°F.
- Spread the turkey mixture evenly into a pie plate or baking dish and set aside.
- Drain the potatoes and set aside.
- Add the milk and butter to the now empty pot and simmer over medium-low heat until butter has melted.
- Take the pot off the heat and add the potatoes. Use a potato masher to mashed the potatoes with the milk and butter until well mashed.
- Stir 1/4 tsp salt and 1/4 tsp black pepper in with the mashed potatoes. Taste and season with additional salt and pepper if needed.
- Spread the mashed potatoes evenly on top of the turkey mixture. Drag the tines of a fork all over the top to form ridges in the potatoes.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 40 to 45 minutes or until potatoes begin to brown on top.
- Take out of the oven and allow to cool for 10 minutes before serving.
