Ingredients
- 6 tbsp butter, divided
- 1 ½ cups carrots, diced, about 3 carrots worth
- 1 cup celery, diced
- 1 large onion, minced
- 1 cup white button mushrooms, thinly sliced
- 10 oz frozen peas, thawed
- 4 cups turkey, cooked, shredded
- 1 ½ tsp fresh thyme, minced
- 1 tsp fresh sage, finely minced
- 2 tsp salt
- 1 tsp black pepper, freshly ground
- 3 tbsp all-purpose flour
- 2 ½ cups turkey stock
- 6 cups mashed potatoes, leftover
- 3 tbsp parmesan cheese, grated
Instructions
-
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
-
Melt 3 tbsp of butter in a large heavy skillet over medium-high heat. Add carrots, celery, onions, and mushrooms. Cook until vegetables begin to soften, for about 10 minutes.
-
Add peas, turkey, thyme, sage, salt, and pepper. Mix well and set aside.
-
Melt the remaining 3 tbsp butter in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Add flour and cook, stirring for 2 minutes to make a roux. Add stock slowly and bring to a low boil.
-
Reduce heat and allow the sauce to thicken, cooking for about 3 minutes. Add sauce to turkey and vegetable mixture and mix well.
-
Transfer the filling mixture to a greased 9x13x2-inch casserole dish. Spoon the mashed potatoes over the filling, spreading gently to cover. Sprinkle parmesan cheese on top.
-
Bake until the potatoes are lightly browned, for about 1 hour. Let cool slightly and serve.
