Shepherd’s Pie

DSC_8319

Traditional shepherd’s pie is made with ground beef or ground lamb, cooked with vegetables like carrots, peas and onions and then topped with creamy mashed potatoes. I have given this recipe an Indian twist by adding Indian spices like garam masala along with worcerstershire sauce, making it a fusion dish. I use ground turkey (healthier option) and add vegetables like peas and onions and pasta(!) topping it with mashed potatoes. I was introduced to this dish by my aunt and was simply taken in by the complexity of flavors, a one pot dish that is enjoyed by the whole family! Ingredients for the turkey: 1.25 pounds of ground lean turkey 3/4 cup frozen green peas 3 medium sized onions chopped . . . CLICK TO READ MORE

Turkey Kebabs (Rolls or Sliders)

DSC_5981

 With Thanksgiving around the corner, I thought of posting my favorite turkey kebab recipe. A staple at our house and made at least once a week, what’s really nice about these kebabs is that they can be made ahead of time and frozen for a quick, tasty snack during the week. Served with home-made green chutney, they are the perfect choice for a more filling appetizer for parties. My mother-in-law first tried these delicious kebabs at a friend’s place and was struck by the simplicity of the recipe. You can also wrap 2 or 3 kebabs in a soft tortilla, add a mixture of green chutney and yogurt and a few chopped onions (optional) and serve for dinner. You could make sliders . . .
