Smoked Turkey Shepherd’s Pie Recipe
I am a big fan of Shepherd’s Pie. So, I decided to try this Smoked Turkey Shepherd’s Pie Recipe. It is comfort food at its best! This is a wonderful variation using a Hickory Smoked Turkey Breast. You can substitute Chicken for the Turkey.
This is also a good idea to use leftovers from your previous smoking. For example, you may use that dark meat from a chicken you had smoked, or any leftover chicken or turkey.
This makes a complete thanksgiving meal in one slice!
