Cuisine: American
Serves: 6 servings
Ingredients
- 1 pound ground turkey
- 2 cups diced potatoes
- 1 cup mixed vegetables
- 1 can cream of chicken soup
- 1 teaspoon thyme
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9x13 inch baking dish with butter or cooking spray.
- In a large skillet, brown the ground turkey over medium-high heat, breaking it into small crumbles. Cook until no pink remains, approximately 7-8 minutes.
- Add diced potatoes and mixed vegetables to the skillet. Sauté for 3-4 minutes until vegetables begin to soften.
- Stir in cream of chicken soup, thyme, salt, and pepper. Mix thoroughly to combine all ingredients and create a creamy filling.
- Transfer the turkey and vegetable mixture into the prepared baking dish, spreading it evenly across the bottom.
- For the potato crust, thinly slice remaining potatoes and arrange them in overlapping layers to completely cover the filling.
- Brush the potato layers with olive oil and sprinkle with additional salt and pepper for extra flavor.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 40-45 minutes, or until potato crust turns golden brown and crispy, and filling is bubbling.
- Remove from oven and let rest for 10 minutes before serving to allow filling to set.
- Serve hot, garnishing with fresh parsley or chives if desired.
Tips
- Choose the Right Potatoes: For the best crust, opt for starchy potatoes like Russets, which will crisp up beautifully in the oven.
- Season Generously: Don’t skimp on the salt and pepper! Season each layer of your filling and potato crust to enhance the overall flavor.
- Mix It Up: Feel free to add your favorite vegetables to the filling. Frozen peas, carrots, or corn can add a pop of color and nutrition.
- Let It Rest: After baking, allow the pot pie to rest for about 10 minutes before serving. This helps the filling set and makes slicing easier.
- Garnish for Extra Flair: A sprinkle of fresh parsley or chives on top before serving adds a burst of color and freshness to your dish.
