Shepherd’s Pie

Published: June 9, 2021 · Courtney Rushing

Shepards Pie

Look, yet another casserole, when I say I hate casseroles. Am I okay? Yes, yes I am.

 

Ingredients

Meat Filling:

  • Spray olive oil
  • 100g white onion, diced
  • 1 lb. 93/7 ground turkey
  • 2 teaspoons dried parsley leaves
  • 1 teaspoon dried rosemary leaves
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme leaves
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 2 garlic cloves -minced
  • 1/4 cup chicken stock
  • 85 grams frozen corn kernels
  • 85 grams green beans, chopped
  • 85 grams carrots, chopped

Potato Topping:

  • 1 1/2 lb. baby yellow potatoes
  • 1/2 cup flax milk (can sub any plant milk or nonfat milk)
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper

Topping:

Fresh herbs

56 gram shredded cheddar cheese

Instructions

Make the filling.

  • Add the spray olive oil to a large skillet and place it over medium-high heat for 2 minutes. Add the onions and carrots. Cook 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  • Add in the garlic and cook another 2 minutes.
  • Add the ground turkey to the skillet and break it apart with a wooden spoon. Add the parsley, rosemary, thyme, salt, and and pepper. Stir well. Cook for 6-8 minutes, until the meat is browned, stirring occasionally.
  • Add the stock, green beans and frozen corn. Simmer for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  • Set the meat mixture aside. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.

**if you want to disregard macros and make a roux to hold this filling together a bit more, add 2 tbs butter and 2 tbs flour to the pan and cook until brown, constantly wishing. Add this to the turkey and veggies mixture with the milk.**

Make the potato topping.

  • Place the potatoes in a large pot. Cover the potatoes with water. Bring the water to a boil. Cook until potatoes are fork tender, 10-12 minutes.
  • Drain the potatoes in a colander. Return the potatoes to the hot pot. Let the potatoes rest in the hot pot for 1 minute to evaporate any remaining liquid.
  • Add flax milk , salt, and pepper. Mash the potatoes and stir until all the ingredients are mixed together. I like to leave a few chunks. You do you. Also note that I left the skin ON. Thats where a majority of the fiber and nutrients are.

Assemble the casserole.

  • Pour the meat mixture into a sprayed 9×9 inch baking dish. Spread it out into an even layer. Spoon the mashed potatoes on top of the meat. Carefully spread into an even layer.
  • Top with cheese.
  • Bake uncovered for 20 minutes and broil for the last 2 minutes.
  • Top with fresh herbs.

    *allow to cool for 10 mins before diving in*

Deload week. What is it? Why do we need it? What do we do with our caloric intake? 

Swipe to learn!

Believe me, if you’re doing #tightertogether , this week is crucial to aid with weeks 4 and 5! If your carb cycling, keep carb cycling. If you’re at maintenance, stay at maintenance. If you’re building your plate, keep building that plate! Your body deserves food with or without training. 

This week comes at a perfect time for me as I am heading to the beach for a wedding. I plan to take it easy and provide my body a lot of rest!

Tell me one thing you’re going to do this week to aid with muscle recovery?!

Today’s tips include monitoring your sodium, limiting consumption of processed meats, adding in more fruits, whole grains, and veggies, and making simple swaps to provide more fiber and protein to aid with overall satiety. 

Again, these are just suggestions from a nutritionist to better manage your macros. I could 50 other things in this diary alone. Let me know if y’all want me to keep doing more of these!
