Ingredients

4 Sweet Potatoes Medium, peeled
¼ cup Milk Nonfat
1½ teaspoons Butter
¾ teaspoon Ground Black Pepper
⅛ teaspoon Cinnamon
8 ounces Mushrooms Fresh or canned
1 Onion Small
3 Garlic Cloves
1½ pounds Turkey Cooked (leftovers)
1 teaspoon Thyme
¼ cup Flour
1 can Chicken Broth 15 ounces
3 Tablespoons Worcestershire Sauce
1 cup Green Peas Fresh, frozen, or canned
1 Tablespoon Olive Oil Or canola oil
¼ teaspoon Salt

Instructions

Preheat oven to 450°F. Spray a 9-inch baking dish with cooking spray.
Peel and dice the onion and garlic.
In a large skillet over medium-high heat add the oil, sauté the onions and mushrooms until tender. Add the cooked/leftover turkey and cook for an additional 5 minutes. Use a colander to drain any liquid, return the drained mixture to the skillet still on medium-high heat.
Add the thyme, garlic, and flour, stirring to coat the mixture.
Add the broth and Worcestershire sauce. Simmer until the mixture thickens- about 2 to 3 minutes.
Stir in the peas, salt, and ¼ teaspoon of pepper. Transfer the mixture to the sprayed baking dish.
Place the peeled sweet potatoes in a large bowl, add the milk, butter, cinnamon, salt, and ½ teaspoon of pepper. Mash with a fork. Spread on top of the mixture in the baking dish.
Bake until hot and bubbling at the edges- about 30 to 40 minutes.
