Individual Turkey Shepherd's Pie

The hardest part of cooking for a family when you're trying to lose weight is portion control. If you make a big bowl of mashed potatoes it's really tempting to keep going back for more. That's why this recipe is so awesome it makes just enough, just enough for 4 individual servings of yummy goodness and only 290 calories per serving. Hope you enjoy it too. P.S. it's also 21 Day Fix friendly and I've added the calculations for the Fix below ;)

INGREDIENTS:

• 1 tbsp olive oil
• 1 tbsp minced garlic
• 1 carrot, finely diced
• 1 small onion, diced
• 8 oz ground turkey (we all know I used Laura's lean beef turkey is not happening over here, but the calculations are the same.)
• 1/2 tsp finely chopped thyme leaves
• 2 tbsp ketchup
• 1 cup low-sodium chicken broth(if you use beef you can use vegetable broth or beef broth)
• 2 tsp flour
• 1/2 cup frozen peas, thawed
• Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
• 1 pound red-skinned potatoes, cubed
• 1/2 cup grated sharp Cheddar
• 1 scallion, chopped
• nonstick cooking spray

DIRECTIONS:

Preheat the oven to 425 degrees. Heat the oil in a medium skillet over medium-high heat. Add the garlic, carrots and onions and cook until tender and beginning to brown, 5 minutes. Add the turkey or lean beef and thyme and continue to cook, breaking up with a spoon, until the turkey is cooked through and lightly browned. Stir in the ketchup and cook until lightly caramelized. Stir the broth and flour together in a small bowl until smooth and then pour into the skillet. Cook, until thickened, 2 minutes. Stir in the peas and season with 1/4 teaspoon salt. Remove from the heat and divide among four 8-oz ramekins.

Meanwhile, place the potatoes in a medium pot and cover with cold salted water. Bring to a boil and continue to cook until tender when pierced with a fork. Drain the potatoes and return to the pot over low heat. Add the milk, cheese, and scallions and mash until smooth. Season with salt and pepper.

Transfer the filled ramekins to a rimmed baking sheet and evenly top with the mashed potatoes. Lightly mist with nonstick cooking spray and bake until the potatoes are lightly browned and the turkey filling is bubbly around the edges, 15 minutes.
