Ingredients

  • 20 ounces frozen shredded hash brown potatoes thawed (2.5 cups)
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 pound lean ground turkey
  • 1 teaspoon ground thyme
  • 1/2 medium onion diced
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 tbsp. white whole heat flour
  • 2 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 3/4 cup low sodium beef broth
  • 1 10 ounce package frozen peas and carrots
  • salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  • Place the oven rack in the middle of the oven and pre-heat to 425.
  • Spray a 12-cup muffin pan with cooking spray; set aside.
  • Divide the shredded potatoes evenly amongst the muffin wells and then press each one into the bottom and up the sides of the pan. Pack the potatoes in tightly.
  • Bake the potatoes for 20-25 minutes or until they are golden brown and pulling away from the sides of the pan. Set aside and lower the oven temperature to 350.
  • Heat olive oil in large non-stick skillet over a medium heat and add in turkey, salt, pepper, and ground thyme. Cook, breaking up the turkey into small crumbles, for about 5 minutes or until the turkey is lightly browned.
  • Add in onions and garlic and cook another 5 minutes until veggies are translucent. Sprinkle in flour and mix well.
  • Add Worcestershire sauce and chicken broth and bring everything to a simmer. Once the mixture has thickened up (this will only take a couple of minutes) add in the peas and carrots and cook until heated through.
  • Shut off the heat and scoop the turkey filling into each muffin cup. Fit in as much as you can without overfilling the cups. You will have leftover filling!
  • Pop back into the oven for 10 minutes and enjoy.
