Total time: 45 min
Yield: 4 servings
Ingredients: 3 tablespoons olive oil; 1 medium leek, halved and sliced thin; 1/2 small onion, diced small; 1 1/4 pounds ground turkey; 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour; 2 teaspoons garlic powder; 1/2 teaspoon poultry seasoning; 2 teaspoons fresh thyme leaves, minced; 1 teaspoon salt; 1 teaspoon black pepper; 1 1/4 cups chicken broth; 2 cups frozen mixed vegetables; 2 cups frozen corn; 1 cup frozen pearl onions; 3-4 cups leftover mashed potatoes

Servings: persons

3 tablespoons olive oil
1 medium leek, halved and sliced thin
1/2 small onion, diced small
1 1/4 pounds ground turkey
1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon poultry seasoning
2 teaspoons fresh thyme leaves, minced
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon black pepper
1 1/4 cups chicken broth
2 cups frozen mixed vegetables
2 cups frozen corn
1 cup frozen pearl onions
3-4 cups leftover mashed potatoes

1
Preheat oven to 400u00b0F. Heat oil over medium heat in a large saute pan. Add the leeks and onions and cook until transparent, about 5 minutes. Add the turkey and cook, breaking up any large chunks, about 6-8 minutes or until just cooked through.
2
Stir in the flour, garlic, poultry seasoning, thyme, salt and pepper and cook 2 more minutes. Stir in the chicken broth and all the frozen veggies and stir to mix thoroughly. Bring to a simmer and cook until slightly thickened, about 5-7 minutes.
3
Grease a deep ceramic baking dish and add to it the turkey mixture. Top with the mashed potatoes and bake until browned on top and the mixture is bubbling, about 15 minutes. If the potatoes have not browned enough turn on the broiler for a few minutes to crisp them up. (Alternately to really make this a one pot meal you can saute everything in a ovenproof skillet, top it with the mashed potatoes and slide the whole thing into the oven to bake.)
4
Let the casserole sit for 10 minutes before serving.

Tips for the best results

Read through all the steps once before you start and measure out your ingredients first — it makes everything go more smoothly.
Preheat the oven fully and bake on the middle rack for the most even results.
Check for doneness a few minutes early — a toothpick in the center should come out with just a few moist crumbs.
Let it cool before slicing so it sets properly and holds its shape.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge and enjoy within a few days.

Variations & substitutions

A good 1:1 gluten-free flour blend works well if you need a gluten-free version.
