Step-by-Step Instructions for Pumpkin Shepherd’s Pie
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Peel and chop the russet potatoes into even-sized pieces, then place them in a pot of boiling salted water. Cook for about 15–20 minutes, or until fork-tender. Drain and mash with pumpkin puree, milk or cream, melted butter, salt, thyme, and nutmeg.
- In a large skillet over medium heat, add diced bacon and sauté for about 5 minutes until it begins to brown. Add chopped onion and brussels sprouts, cooking for another 5–7 minutes.
- Stir in the ground turkey and a pinch of salt. Cook for about 7–10 minutes until browned and cooked through.
- Pour in the broth and cranberry sauce, allowing the mixture to simmer for about 5 minutes. If thicker consistency is desired, sprinkle in flour and cook for an additional 2 minutes.
- Spread the turkey and vegetable mixture into the skillet or baking dish. Layer the creamy pumpkin mashed potatoes over the top.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 35–40 minutes until golden-brown on top.
- Let cool for a few minutes before serving.
