Instructions
Preheat oven to 375°F.
Start by making the mashed potato mixture if you do not have mashed potato leftovers. Boil peeled and chopped potatoes on high in a pot with water. Boil for 10-15 minutes until soft.
Once potatoes are soft, drain the water from the potatoes using a strainer and then place potatoes back into the pot on low heat. With a potato masher, start mashing the potatoes. Add in 1/2 cup of extra virgin olive oil and then continue mashing.
After the extra virgin olive oil is thoroughly combined, add in 1/2 cup of whole milk and then mash until creamy.
Add in sea salt, ground black pepper and smoked paprika.
Remove mashed potatoes from heat and layer the mixture evenly into a cast iron skillet. Set aside.
To make the turkey mixture, combine 2 cups of shredded turkey, chili powder, smoked paprika, coriander, sea salt, ground black pepper and cayenne into a large mixing bowl.
Once combined, add in the enchilada sauce and ensure the turkey is completely coated in sauce.
Add in the diced red bell pepper and 1 1/2 cups of cooked black beans. Stir and combine.
Once the turkey mixture is completed, layer it on top of the mashed potato mixture in the skillet.
Finish it off with a layer of shredded cheddar cheese.
Place in a 375-degree oven for 25-30 minutes.
Once out of the oven, garnish with cilantro, diced avocado, or salsa.
