Two different potato toppings, I couldn't pick a favorite!
Ingredients:
1 lb ground turkey
1/4 cups diced or thinly sliced carrots
1/4 cup diced onion
2 stalks of celery, diced
2 cloves garlic, minced
3-4 large potatoes
3-4 large sweet potatoes
*cranberry chutney (optional)
Directions:
Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
In separate pots: Peel and cut the potatoes in large, similar sized chunks and boil until tender.
While the potatoes are boiling, saute onion, celery, garlic and carrots for about 5 minutes, then add the turkey. Cook until the turkey is browned. I had this cranberry honey chutney that I thought would go well with the turkey, so I dumped in about 1/4 cup to the meat mixture. This is optional, but it was sure delicious. If you don't have anything like this, add some of your favorite savory spices like thyme, sage, even poultry seasoning would be good. Once the meat is done, evenly distribute it into two small baking dishes.
Mas your cooked potatoes in separate bowls or pots. I like to add a little butter and milk to mine. A good tip is to make sure your milk is warm when you add it to the potatoes, it mixes better and does not cool the potatoes down.
Put the white potatoes on top of the meat mixture on one dish and then the sweet potatoes on the other. Bake uncovered for about 30 minutes. Try to enjoy it while one kid whines they don't like onions. Then lie to them and tell them its not onions. If they continue to whine, tell them some kids' mothers' don't even cook or make their lunch and what do they think of that? This meal has been brought to you with a side of guilt. Then go find the open bottle of wine and finish it off.
