Sweet Potato Pie, Shepard Style
1 lb ground turkey (white & dark)
2 tbs coconut oil or butter from grass fed cows
1 medium onion, chopped
2 carrots, coarsely chopped
1 close garlic, finely chopped
8 oz mushrooms, sliced
2 tbs worcestershire sauce
sea salt & freshly ground black pepper to taste
1/2 tsp sage
pinch of crushed rosemary
1 tsb arrowroot + 2 tbs cold water
3/4 cup chicken stock
3 large sweet potatoes, mashed (skins on)*
1/2 cup raw cheddar cheese, shredded
Heat oil or butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add onions and carrots, cover, cook about 5 minutes stirring once or twice. Add mushrooms, cook about 3 minutes. Add turkey meat and cook until browned. Drain any excess juice*. Add spices and stock. Stir water into arrowroot until you have a smooth paste. Slowly add to the turkey mixture, bring to a boil for 1 minute stirring constantly. Pour into a lightly greased 2 qt baking dish. Top with the mashed sweet potates spreading to seal at edges. sprinkle grated cheese and bake at 375 for 30 mins or until slightly brown and bubbly.
*I cut the potatoes into cubes--leaving the skins on, boiled until tender and hand mashed with about 2-3 tbs of butter and added a little more sea salt and pepper to taste.
