This checks all the boxes. Cheap, Easy, Satisfying & Delicious. The right portion of protein plus plenty of vegetables. Use Turkey, Chicken, Pork with chicken stock or Beef & Lamb with beef stock. Ham is also awesome with ham broth. A hearty Winter meal & a great way to use leftovers. Use ground meat for a quick meal but I think that it's best with chunks of meat & my favorite is left over roast turkey or chicken with a stock made from the carcass of the bird. For this recipe I will use ground turkey but apply the same method & your ingredients to what ever you like. Hey, and there is no shame in using quality frozen vegetables if you are in a hurry but PLEASE use REAL mashed potato's, even if you just finished a 12 hour day, that just means you deserve real home made mashed potato's even more. Try the red potato's & leave the skin on, it has vitamins, fiber & adds some cool color & texture as well as being easier. Ingredients:
16 ounces ground turkey |
12 ounces frozen mixed vegetables (thawed) |
1/2 medium onion, finely diced |
3 lbs potatoes |
1/4 cup flour |
2 cups turkey stock or 2 cups chicken stock |
1/2 teaspoon dried sage |
1/2 teaspoon paprika |
3 tablespoons butter |
1/2 cup milk |
1 teaspoon salt |
1/4 teaspoon black pepper |
Directions:
1. Cut potatoes into about 1/2 inch chunks, cover with cold water & put over high heat until boiling then reduce heat to simmer.
2. Brown turkey over medium high heat until well browned, add onion & cook until soft.
3. Sprinkle flour, 1/2 teaspoon salt, the pepper, sage & paprika over the meat & mix well together. Add stock a half cup at a time & mix well then add your thawed & drained vegetables & stir until well combined. Reduce heat to medium low & simmer until potato's are ready adding a little stock or water if mix is getting dry.
4. When potato's are just tender, drain & add butter, milk & half teaspoon salt then mash. Add more salt if needed & leave a few chunks if you like.
5. Taste your meat mix for salt & adjust if needed, add extra stock or water if you like a wet mix but it's best to have a thick gravy & firmer texture to the meat & veg without being dry.
6. Ladle meat & veg evenly into 4 Soup Mugs then top evenly with the mashed potato's. Place under broiler to brown the mash if you like but cover the handles of mugs loosely with foil to help them from getting too hot to handle. This browning is optional.
