Turkey and Sweet Potato Shepherd's Pie

I totally thought Ross would say "Man, this meal would taste so much better with beef...."  BUT I don't even think he realized it was turkey instead!!  This was really good - and easy to cut in half for 2 peeps!  We just used a 8x8 baking dish - and it worked perfect.  The lovely Simply Potatoes can be found in your grocer's refrigerated section (Cub had them - Rainbow did not....)  That saved a ton of time - but if you can't find them, you can always make sweet potatoes from scratch and do that ahead of time.....

Makes 6 servings - Paula Deen Magazine

Ingredients:
2 lbs ground turkey
1 cup prechopped onion
2 1/2 teaspoons pepper
1 teaspoon salt
2 (24 oz) packages refrigerated Simply Potatoes Mashed Sweet Potatoes
1 large egg
1/2 (8oz) cream cheese
1 cup frozen green peas
1 (11 oz) can Mexican-style corn
2 (.87 oz) packets turkey gravy mix

Preheat oven to 375.  Lightly grease a 9x13 inch baking pan or 6 (2 cup) ramekins.

Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat.  Spray skillet with nonstick cooking spray, and add turkey, onion, pepper, and salt; cook for 10 minutes or until turkey is browned and crumbly.

While turkey mixture cooks, peel back film at corner of each container of sweet potatoes, and microwave on HIGH for 3 minutes.  In a large bowl, combine sweet potatoes, egg, cream cheese, and remaining 1 1/2 teaspoons pepper; beat at medium speed with a mixer until well combined.

Drain turkey mixture well, and return to skillet.  Stir in peas, corn, and gravy mixes.  Pour turkey mixture into prepared baking dish or ramekins, and spread sweet potato mixture over top.

Bake for 30 minutes if using 9x13 baking dish, 25 minutes if using ramekins until lightly browned.
