This is NOTHING like shepards pie. Not even a little bit. And carrots, I think not. Where are the salted green onions pray tell?

Made this delicious pie for dinner and I just about ate the whole thing myself and loved every morsel. Nora this is a surefire keeper!! It is similar to Shepard's Pie but less fattening and I belive tastier. So simple to put together! I got a great deal on chicken at the store so cooked the whole batch, saved broth to make soup, and made this pie for dinner that night. Wonderful comfort food and with our snowstorm and no driving bans it kept this mama in and happy. DHsaid it was the perfect come home from the storm dinner as it was warm and the kind of dinner you want when your bones are cold. Made in honour and memory of Ed.

Delicious! Its similar to a shepherd's pie. I made this with left over turkey that we had two nights ago. It worked really well as I cooked the carcass with the vegetables and then added the precooked turkey meat. I didn't discard the rest of the broth and instead froze it for later use as homemade stock. Lovely comfort food! Made in Memory of Nora's DH Ed.
