Method

  1. Heat oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6. Cook the potatoes in a large pan of salted water for 12-15 mins or until tender. Drain well, then return to the pan and allow to steam for 3 mins. Add some seasoning and the butter, then roughly mash with a fork and set aside until later.
  2. Meanwhile, cook the peppers and onion in a large pan for 5 mins - the water in the peppers should stop them sticking. Stir in the turkey mince, chilli and paprika and cook until browned. Pour in the stock, then bubble for 10 mins until thickened. Transfer the turkey mince into an ovenproof dish, top with the mash and cook for 30 mins or until golden and bubbling.

    This worked really well, I used fresh peppers - one red and one yellow, cut into strips. Unfortunatley the only chilli I had was a padron one, so it didn't give any heat, but I think that a good chilli would make it better! Half the pie is in the freezer awaiting a cold night after a long day at work!

    Think I'd prefer this with a can of chopped tomatoes instead of stock.

    Could see that this needed tweaking to work so I used a tin of chopped tomatoes instead of the stock, crumbled a stock cube into the tomatoes and added a garlic clove to the peppers and onions in the first step. We like spicy food in our house so I used a good pinch of chilli flakes and substituted hot paprika for smoked paprika. I also put cheese on the top of the mash before putting it into the oven. Clean plates all round.

    Made yesterday.0, used tomatoes instead of stock as thought it would be too liquidy! Will definitely do again with extra veg!

    Tried this yesterday. I added garlic & a tin of chopped tomatoes instead of the stock, but still added a chicken stock cube. Tried it halfway through and thought the flavour lacked depth so I added some dried mixed herbs and that seemed to do the trick. Served it with leeks for plenty of flavour too.I would make it again as Turkey mince makes a cheap meal and as there are only two of us it lasts for 2 days.
