Sheperd's Pie is comfort food at it's best!!  Here's a wonderful variation using a leftover Hickory Smoked Turkey Breast.  You can substitute Chicken for the Turkey.

• 1 onion, chopped and sautéd
• 1 (14.5 ounce) can green beans, drained
• 2 (10.75 ounce) cans condensed cream of mushroom soup
• 2 (4 ounce) cans of mushrooms, with liquid
• 1 pkg Stove Top Stuffing, turkey or chicken (or use leftover stuffing)
• 12 ounces shredded Cheddar cheese (Costco Mexican style Blend)
• 8 cups mashed potatoes

DIRECTIONS:

• Preheat Pellet Smoker-Grill or oven to 350º F (175ºC)
• Spread stuffing in an even layer on the bottom of a 9x13 inch backing dish
• Top with layer of cubed smoked/cooked turkey
• Top with sautéd onions and a layer of green beans
• Mix canned mushrooms, with liquid, and cream of mushroom soup
• Pour mixed cream of mushroom soup over the onion/green bean layer
• Scatter casserole with half the shredded Cheddar cheese
• Mix remaining shredded Cheddar cheese and mashed potatoes
• Top the casserole with the mashed potatoes
• Dot the mashed potatoes with a few pats of butter
• Bake for 45 to 70 minutes until heated through and bubbling
• Rest Smoked Turkey Sheperd's Pie Casserole for 15 minutes before serving

What a great idea!  I love Sheperd's Pie.  I had a variation using fish in Scotland last year, called Fisherman's Pie.  It was outstanding.

Everytime I have gone to Colorado Springs, we have gone to the Broadmore Hotel and the Golden Bee pub.  They have a really good Shepherd's Pie, too.

Ditto what Art said; Great idea! I love shepherd's pie too and never though of using turkey breast.
