Ingredients

  • 1 ½ pound sweet potatoes, peeled and cut into 2-inch pieces

  • 1 ½ pound Yukon gold or other yellow-flesh potatoes, peeled and cut into 2-inch pieces

  • 4 cloves garlic, halved

  • ½ cup milk

  • ½ teaspoon salt

  • ½ cup finely shredded Parmesan cheese (2 ounces)

  • 1 ½ cup chopped carrots (3 medium)

  • 1 cup chopped onion (1 large)

  • 1 cup chopped red sweet pepper

  • 2 tablespoon olive oil

  • 3 cup chopped or shredded cooked turkey or chicken*

  • 2 10.75 ounce cans condensed cream of mushroom soup

  • 2 cup frozen cut green beans

  • ½ cup dried cranberries

  • ¼ cup water

  • 3 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce

  • 1 tablespoon snipped fresh sage or 1 teaspoon dried sage, crushed

  • 1 teaspoon dry mustard

  • ½ teaspoon ground black pepper

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F. In a 4-quart Dutch oven cook potatoes, covered, and garlic in enough boiling, lightly salted water to cover for 20 to 25 minutes or until potatoes are tender; drain. Using a potato masher, a ricer, or an electric mixer on low speed, mash potatoes and garlic. Gradually beat in milk and salt to make potatoes light and fluffy. Stir in cheese. Cover and keep warm.

  2. Meanwhile, in a large skillet cook carrots, onion, and sweet pepper in hot oil over medium heat until vegetables are tender, stirring occasionally. Stir in turkey, soup, beans, cranberries, the water, Worcestershire sauce, sage, mustard, and black pepper; heat through.

  3. Transfer turkey mixture to an ungreased 3-quart rectangular baking dish. Pipe or spoon mashed potato mixture in 10 to 12 mounds on top of turkey mixture. Bake, uncovered, for 25 to 30 minutes or until heated through.

*Tip:

If you don't have leftover turkey or chicken, remove and discard the skin and bones from a purchased roasted chicken. Chop or shred the chicken meat.

Tip:

For a lighter recipe, use reduced-fat soup.
