After my first day back at the office, I really fancied something extra yummy and homely. Growing up, we all had favourite dinners, and one of those was my Grandma’s Sheppard’s pie for me. So I decided to cook a healthier version of this sweet potato pie that is dairy and gluten-free!
I call this recipe the Sweetest of Sweet Potato Pie because it’s obviously sweet and savoury. It’s the perfect quick comfort food to serve when you want your family or guests to feel satiated.
Check out the very easy recipe below that you can perfect on the first attempt.
The Sweetest of Sweet Potato Pie
This sweet potato pie is dairy and gluten-free. I like having it when I want something flavorful and satisfying.
Ingredients
Topping Ingredients
3 medium sweet potato
20 grams Greek yogurt- 30 ml soy milk
Filling Ingredients
400 grams ground turkey (minced turkey)
1 teaspoon coconut oil
1 medium onion
2 medium carrots
⅓ medium courgettes also called zucchini (Courgettes French / Zucchini Italian)
¼ cup peas- ¼ cup carrots - diced
½ medium red pepper
1 teaspoon garlic
1 teaspoon green chilis (green chilli in British English) - chopped
1 teaspoon fish sauce
Instructions
- Peel sweet potatoes and then boil or put them in the microwave for 3 to 5 minutes – you will know once cooked as they will become soft.
- Mash the sweet potato, and add the soya milk and Greek yogurt (add ½ teaspoon of chi coconut oil if you fancy).
- Put a pan on low heat, add the chi coconut oil to melt, then and add onions, chilli, and garlic. Sautees until browned, then add the turkey and the remaining vegetables chopped. Once the turkey has cooked through, add the fish sauce or chicken stock.
- Put the filling into the bottom of a casserole dish, followed by the sweet potato topping. Flatten with a fork, grated nutmeg, and sprinkle oregano over the top.
