Ingredients

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 carrot finely diced
  • 1 small onion chopped
  • 8 ounces ground turkey
  • 1/2 teaspoon finely chopped fresh thyme
  • 2 tablespoons ketchup
  • 1 cup low-sodium chicken broth or stock
  • 2 teaspoons all purpose flour, unbleached
  • 1/2 cup frozen peas thawed
  • Kosher salt
  • 1 pound gold peeled potatoes cubed
  • 1/2 cup warm 2% milk
  • 1/3 cup shredded sharp Cheddar
  • 1 scallion chopped
  • freshly ground black pepper
  • Nonstick cooking spray
  • 2 9" refrigerated pie crusts

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. Heat the oil in a medium ovenproof skillet over medium-high heat. Add the garlic, carrots and onions; cook until tender and beginning to brown, about 5 minutes. Add the turkey and thyme, and continue to cook, breaking the turkey up with a spoon, until the turkey is cooked through and lightly browned. Stir in the ketchup and cook until lightly caramelized. Stir the broth and flour together in a small bowl until smooth, and then pour into the skillet. Cook until thickened, about 2 minutes. Stir in the peas and season with 1/4 teaspoon salt.
  • Meanwhile, place the potatoes in a medium pot and cover with cold salted water. Bring to a boil, lower the heat and simmer until tender when pierced with a knife. Drain the potatoes and return to the pot over low heat. Stir the potatoes for a couple of minutes to dry them out. Add the milk, cheese and scallions, and mash until smooth. Season with salt and pepper.
  • Meanwhile, unroll the pie crusts and roll each crust to 12" in diameter. Cut four 4"rounds from each crust. Press each round on the bottom and sides of a muffin pan and bake at 350 degrees F for 7-10 minutes or until lightly browned. Remove from oven and set aside
  • Divide turkey mixture among all 4 cups. Top with some cheddar cheese and finish with mashed potatoes
  • Bake at 350 degrees F for 20 minutes or until crusts are golden brown and mashed potatoes have browned. Broil at 450 degrees F for 5 minutes if needed to brown the potatoes some more Let it stand for 10 minutes and remove by running a knife outside each pie. Dish and serve warm
