A small cottage pie with lean turkey, soft carrot and smooth mashed potato.
Turkey supplies protein; potato provides starchy carbohydrate; milk contributes protein and calcium. Adaptation: use lactose-free milk when needed and keep the stock mild. Contains: milk. Stock may contain celery, wheat or soya.
Method
- 1 Heat the oven to 190°C / 170°C fan. Peel and dice the potato, then put it into a pan of cold water. Bring to the boil and cook for 15-20 minutes, until a knife slides in easily.
- 2 Meanwhile, heat the oil in a small pan over medium heat. Add the turkey mince and cook for about 5 minutes, breaking it into small pieces with a wooden spoon, until no longer pink.
- 3 Stir in the carrot and stock, bring to a gentle simmer, then cover and cook for 15 minutes, until the carrot is very soft and the turkey is cooked through.
- 4 Stir in the cornflour mixture and simmer, stirring constantly, until the sauce lightly thickens and coats the back of a spoon. Add a splash of water if it looks too thick.
- 5 Drain the potato well and mash with the milk until smooth.
- 6 Spoon the turkey mixture into a small ovenproof dish and spread the mash evenly on top. Bake for 10-15 minutes until piping hot throughout when tested in the centre.
