Calling everyone on a diet everywhere! Unless you are doing a crazy diet that cuts out a whole food group, this is one healthy recipe you can’t afford to leave out of your repertoire! The Turkey and Sweet Potato Pie.

Turkey and sweet Potato Pie is low in fat – thanks to the lean turkey mince! Is jam-packed full of vegetables, making sure you get your five-a-day. And most of all it is full of flavour! It really is proof you never have to go bored or hungry on a diet ever again.

The turkey mince I have used is the best of British and can be bought fresh from all good supermarkets, and I’ve also used a slightly more unusual ingredient, Peppadew peppers! Very tasty, sweet little preserved peppers which give you a bit more of a kick than normal fresh red peppers would.

Also sweet peppers are coming into season so if you can get your hands on some they'd also go really well in this.

Turkey and sweet Potato Pie is a great twist on the classic Shepherds Pie but still tastes delicious. Try it for dinner tonight!

  • In the meantime, spray a large pan with a little of the low fat cooking spray and brown the turkey mince on a medium heat. When it has cooked through add the vegetables (chopped) and let them cook for five minutes before adding the garlic and Italian seasoning. Cook for five minutes before adding the chopped tomatoes and spinach. Allow this to simmer for 5 to 10 minutes which mashing the sweet potato.
  • Mash the sweet potato in the same way you would normal potatoes though without the addition of butter or milk. Season the mash with salt and pepper.

    We do one like this in my house with leftover chilli, it goes great with the sweet potato! I always use turkey mince as well, it's so much nicer. This sounds amazing!!xo

    This looks lovely! I might give it a go. I love shepherds pie so this might be worth trying as a healthy alternative. xx

    Thanks Abi! It's a favourite in our house now. It's lighter than Shepherds Pie so it's good when the weather gets a little warmer.
