The warm, earthy, nutty flavours of the cumin, mushrooms, hemp seeds, and flax seed--combined with the sweet tastes of basil, peppers, peas, broccoli, and sweet potatoes--with extra health benefits of the hemp and flax--plus the low-fat turkey, and healthy flavorful coconut oil--make this a great alternative to your usual shepard's pie

Steps

45 mins

1

Heat coconut oil in a large pot on medium
2

Add turkey, and stir constantly until fully cooked
3

Add cumin, ground flax seed, hemp seed, peppers, celery, mushrooms and basil. Stir often and cook until softened, about 5 minutes.
4

In another pot, boil the water and cook your carrots, peas, and broccoli.
5

Using a slotted spoon, remove vegetables from the water, saving the water, and add to the turkey mixture. Stir well, and transfer into a glass casserole dish.
6

Using the leftover water, bring back to a boil and add sweet potato. This will give it lots of flavour. Cook until pieces are fully cooked. Drain any remaining water, and mash with salt and pepper.
7

Add mashed sweet potato on top of mixture, spread evenly, cover with tin foil, and bake in the oven at 400 for about 15 minutes. I like the potatoes to dry out a little like a crust, but for softer potatoes reduce time.
