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.
