Holiday Leftover Shepherd’s Pie

Ingredients

• 500g (17.6 oz) Christmas meat leftovers (turkey, ham, or beef)
• 1 large onion, finely chopped
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 2 tablespoons green pesto
• 500g (17.6 oz) potatoes, peeled and chopped
• 50g (1.8 oz) butter
• 100ml (3.4 fl oz) milk
• Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

1. Preheat your oven to 200°C (392°F).
2. In a large pot, boil the potatoes until tender, about 15-20 minutes.
3. While the potatoes are boiling, heat a large pan over medium heat and add the chopped onion and minced garlic. Cook until the onion is translucent.
4. Add the Christmas meat leftovers to the pan and cook until heated through. Stir in the green pesto and mix well. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
5. Once the potatoes are tender, drain them and return to the pot. Add the butter and milk, then mash until smooth. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
6. Transfer the meat mixture to a baking dish and spread it out evenly. Top with the mashed potatoes, spreading them out to cover the meat completely.
7. Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and crispy.
8. Let the shepherd's pie cool for a few minutes before serving.
