Here is a recipe that I do not recommend making. I liked it well enough, but it really was not good enough to make again. No one took a second helping... It was just fine...
I changed the original recipe a lot, but interestingly, the calorie information was almost exactly the same. The fiber/cholesterol/fat was different- but calories were exactly the same.
Keep in mind though that this original recipe may be quite tasty, but since I did not have chipotle peppers I changed the flavors. It did not work... I should stick to science :)
My Sweet Potato Shepherds Pie
Filling:
3 slices of bacon
1.2lbs Ground turkey breast meat
1/2c Chicken stock
1 medium sweet onion, diced
1 red bell pepper, diced
4 pieces of celery, diced
2T dried cranberries (I wanted to use more but this is all I had)
1 can of white beans (drained and rinsed)
Salt/pepper/Cayenne to taste
Topping:
2 large Yams (3lbs?), peeled and diced
1/2c brown sugar
3T butter
Instructions:
Begin boiling the yams/sweet potatoes (they need 20-30min?)
Pan fry the bacon until it is *almost* done
Remove bacon from pan and place on paper towels
Reserve fat and cook the ground turkey breast in bacon fat
Remove the ground meat and drain the fat
Add onions to pan cook for 5-10m
Add the rest of the veggies (excluding the beans) and stock and cook for 5m
Place veggies in bowl with ground meat, add beans and diced bacon and mix well
Add to casserole dish
Mash yams with sugar and butter and spread over top.
Bake for 15min covered and 10-15min uncovered in a 350 degree oven
Enjoy! Well kind of... :)

I'm sorry it was too healthy tasting :( It's such a pain when you spend a lot of time making something and it isn't great. I should know...I do it regularly. Pretty much constantly.
Brother wants to add that he really liked it and didn't take a second helping because he had filled up at the scotch tasting before dinner. Ahh the truth comes out!
I liked it but it was very sweet for this savory girl :)
