Ingredients

3 cups chopped vegetables, made up of 4 small carrots; 1 cup organic 6 smalls to medium potatoes, peeled and chopped

2 tablespoons So Delicious coconut milk or milk of your choice

1 pound organic ground turkey meat

1 teaspoon coconut oil

1 onion, finely chopped

2 cloves garlic, minced

4 tablespoons fresh cilantro, finely chopped

3 cups organic gluten free vegetable broth

3 tablespoons arrowroot flour

1 teaspoon chili powder

1/2 teaspoon paprika

1/2 teaspoon turmeric

salt and pepper to taste

Preparation

Start out by washing, peeling, and chopping the potatoes, then boil with 1 cup of the vegetable broth, and 1 cup of water for about 20 minutes, or until the potatoes are soft. Place the cooked potatoes in a food processor with the 2 Tbsp. of coconut milk, salt and pepper, and pulse until a smooth mixture is formed. Set aside, you will need this later to top the Shepherd's Pie.

Next, brown the ground turkey in a frying pan over medium-high heat, with 1 tsp. coconut oil. When the meat is almost done, add the onion, garlic, cilantro and spices. Mix everything together, cover and cook for a further 2-3 minutes.

Add the remaining 2 cups of broth and the arrowroot flour along with the vegetables.

Bring this mixture to a boil, stirring continuously, and cook for a further 5-6 minutes, until the liquid starts to thicken. Transfer the mixture to a lightly buttered casserole dish.

Top with spoonfuls of the mashed potatoes, spreading evenly until the entire top of the dish is covered.

Bake in a preheated oven, set at 350F/180C, for 40 minutes, or until a golden brown crust forms. Remove and serve.

For people who can't take the sugars/starches in potatoes, you can mash up cauliflower instead. :)
