Motivating Mum Cat Christ has been following the Lose Baby Weight healthy eating plans and has sent in her recipe for a Healthy Turkey Shepherds Pie.
Turkey is a very lean and inexpensive meat and is often forgotten and only thought of around the festive times of the year.
Cat’s Turkey meat sauce is very versatile and can be eaten on top of wholemeal pasta, turned into a pie filling with some filo pastry or even used in a lasagne.
Cat writes; “I wanted to try something a little different with turkey mince and OMG! I’ll be making this versatile meat mix again!”
You can use any vegetables that your family likes or that you have on hand.
