Turkey Shepherd's Pie
Not only is Turkey Shepherd’s Pie an excellent use for sometimes boring ground turkey, but it is also a great way to use up leftover potatoes. If ground turkey is not your style, substitute with ground beef. This one-pot meal can be made ahead of time and stored in the refrigerator for those busy weeknights when you don’t have time for food prep.

This is a Cottage Pie.
Shepherds don't herd turkeys, only sheep. A shepherd's pie is made with lamb. Shepherds would cull a lamb on occasion, and when they had the rest of the ingredients available, to make a "Shepherd's Pie." Any other protein makes it a cottage pie.
