Directions:
TOPPING: 1. Add the sweet potato and carrots to a large pot along with the broth. Bring to a boil, cover, reduce heat and simmer until fork-tender, about 20 minutes.
2. Transfer veggies to a mixing bowl, reserving all the leftover broth in the pot. Mash until smooth and creamy (it makes about 5 cups). It's okay if left with a lumpy texture. Add butter and season with S&P.
While the sweet potatoes and carrots cook, prepare the meat layer.
SAUTEED MEAT: 1. Liberally coat a large skillet with oil spray. Add the turkey meat, onion and garlic. Brown over medium high heat, breaking it into crumbles as it cooks, about 5 minutes
2. Once cooked, mix in the soy sauce, W sauce, tomato paste and powders if use.
3. Add in the frozen veggies. In a small bowl, add 1 cup reserved broth with the cornstarch and stir until dissolved. Add to meat and mix well
4. Bring to a boil, reduce heat to low and simmer for 10 minutes. Taste and add choice of seasonings.
5. Preheat oven to 400º. Top the meat with the mashed sweet potato-carrots and spread evenly over the top. Transfer skillet into the oven.
6. Bake in the oven for 20 min., then place under the broiler for 1-2 min. to create a golden crust.
7. Let it cool before serving.
