13 Reviews of Turkey Shepherd's Pie With Two-Potato Topping (Or Chicken)

Because I made this with chicken (we don’t eat nearly as much turkey in Australia as Americans eat), I made what was a truly delicious Chicken Shepherd’s Pie. I didn’t have any gravy, so I added ½ cup of low-fat sour cream and a dash of wine (not quite traditional, but…), which worked out fine. I also added 3 chopped cloves of garlic with the onions, celery and carrots. The choice of parsley and sage gave a wonderful flavour to this Shepherd’s Pie with a difference! As did the combination of the two potatoes. All I’ll do differently next time is to double the portions, as this is a dish which would freeze well. Thank you for another great recipe!

    This turned out really well. I followed the recipe faithfully with the exception of substituting scallions for chives and dried sage for fresh (Amazingly, I had everything else on hand). My wife thought it was perfect as it was. I'm tempted to play around with it - maybe a little orange zest, maybe garlic, maybe tarragon. Anyway, it was even better leftover, which says a lot since the turkey was then doubly leftover.

    Very good. I used chicken and chicken gravy instead of turkey. And I added pepper, garlic and a dash of worcestershire as well as a bunch of cheese. Zaar World Tour 05

    This recipe passed the husband and kids test-I'll definitely be making this again! My first time using sage or sweet potato in shepherd's pie, different for us but a delicious dish! I used bluemoon downunder's Sweet Potato Mash for the sweet potato mash. A perfect match! I love one dish meals-especially when they are this good!

    Oh yummy yummy! I made most of this by my own self! I scooped the leftovers from Thanksgiving and put the right amounts in the pan. I used the food processor to cut up the onions and the carrots and the celery. I also mixed the potatoes in the processor with the egg. I made dinner all by myself!!!

    This recipe got a big thumbs up from the whole family. I used garlic mashed potatoes and mixed candied yams into it. It looked a big funky coming out of the oven but the taste was just great.

    Very nice version of shepherd's pie. I used chicken rather than turkey and left out the celery; I also added some grated cheddar to the topping. While I think I prefer the Aussie version with worcestershire sauce, ketchup and roast lamb, DH loved this and ate it so fast I thought I must have got our portions mixed up! Thanks for a lovely weeknight meal!

    This is a great recipe. I used chicken with this. Mine could have used more gravy though, because the leftovers were drier than the first dish! I made two dishes out of this and froze the second one without baking. Thanks!!

    This was pretty good. Next time I will add more gravy and probably more seasoning. It's a good base recipe.
