Cooking Steps
1
- Peel, then cut potatoes into 1-inch pieces.
- Add potatoes, 1 tsp salt and enough water to cover (by approx. 1 inch) to a large pot (use same for 4 ppl). Cover and bring to a boil over high heat.
- Once boiling, reduce heat to medium. Simmer uncovered, until potatoes are fork-tender, 10-12 min.
2
- Meanwhile, strip 1 tbsp (2 tbsp) thyme leaves from stems, then finely chop.
- Roughly chop parsley.
- Peel, then mince or grate garlic.
3
- Heat a large oven-proof pan over medium heat. When hot, add 1/2 tbsp (1 tbsp) oil, then turkey.
- Cook, breaking up turkey into smaller pieces, until no pink remains, 4-5 min.**
- Add 1 tbsp (2 tbsp) butter, then mirepoix, thyme and garlic. Cook, stirring often, until veggies soften slightly, 3-4 min.
- Season with salt and pepper.
4
- Add tomato sauce base, then sprinkle flour over top. Cook, stirring often, until turkey and veggies are coated, 1-2 min.
- Add peas, soy sauce, broth concentrate and 3/4 cup (1 1/2 cups) water. Bring to a boil over high.
- Once boiling, reduce heat to medium. Cook, stirring often, until sauce thickens slightly and veggies are tender, 3-4 min.
- Season with salt and pepper, to taste. (NOTE: If you don't have an oven-proof pan, transfer turkey filling to a 8x8-inch baking dish for 2 ppl or a 9x13-inch dish for 4 ppl.)
5
- When potatoes are fork-tender, drain and return them to the same pot, off heat.
- Mash cheese, half the parsley, 1/4 cup (1/2 cup) milk and 2 tbsp (4 tbsp) butter into potatoes until creamy.
- Season with salt and pepper, to taste.
6
- When turkey filling is done, top with mashed potatoes, spreading into an even layer.
- Broil in the middle of the oven until potato topping begins to brown, 4-5 min.
- Remove cottage pie from the oven and let stand, 5 min.
- Divide cottage pie between plates. Sprinkle remaining parsley over top.
7
If you've opted to get turkey, add 1/2 tbsp (1 tbsp) oil to the pan, then turkey. Cook in the same way the recipe instructs you to cook the beef.** Disregard instructions to drain and discard excess fat.
Customer reviews
Review summary
Updated on Aug 2026- Flavour: Most reviewers found the flavour satisfying and well-balanced; some felt the filling could use a bit more seasoning, and one noted the thyme was quite strong.
- Ease of prep: This is a straightforward comfort meal, though some reviewers noted it takes longer than 35 minutes from start to finish.
- Suggestions: Add extra cheese on top before broiling for a richer crust, and consider boosting the filling with additional seasoning or a splash more broth for a saucier result.
- Leftovers: Several reviewers noted the potato-to-filling ratio felt off; reducing the potato quantity or increasing the meat and vegetables helps balance the dish.
- Customisation: Swapping in sweet potato or adding lentils are easy ways to personalise the dish while keeping the overall flavour intact.
