We are well into comfort food season here at The Kitchen Shed so I am trying to recreate those classing warming dishes in a healthier way.
We didnt eat a lot of shepherds pie/cottage pie when I was growing up, but my mum did often make savoury mince and mashed potato, a sort of deconstructed shepherds pie. It was lush and still one of my favourite mum cooked meals.
This turkey and lentil mince is just as savoury and satisfying but a lot leaner and cleaner. Packed with healthy nutrient rich veggies and cooked in homemade chicken stock, you cant get much more wholesome than that!
