This Healthy Leftover Turkey Shepherd’s Pie was made to help you use up holiday leftovers. With that said, you get to use whatever uncooked veggies you have, whatever cheese you have, and leftover turkey and mashed potatoes.
Everything You’ll Need
- Olive oil spray
- 3 cups Low Calorie Mashed Potatoes (or leftovers)
- 2 cups chopped veggies (I used onions and celery)
- 3 cups Low Calorie Turkey (or leftovers)
- ½ cup chicken broth
- 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 1.4 teaspoon pepper
- 2 teaspoons cheese (cheddar, parmesan, gruyere)

Low Calorie Shepherd’s Pie Meal Prep and Storage
- Individual Portions– Cook the recipe as directed, let cool completely, and cut into 6 portions. Scoop into meal prep containers and cover. Refrigerate for 4-5 days or freeze for 1 month. To reheat, microwave 2 minutes from defrosted, or 4-5 minutes from frozen. Or bake (defrost first) at 350 degrees for 20 minutes.
- Family Portion– Assemble the casserole as directed, but do not bake. Cool completely, then cover with plastic wrap and place in the fridge for up to a week or the freezer (I also like to put in a 2 gallon freezer bag to freeze) for a month. Defrost (if needed) and bake according to the directions.
- Leftovers– Scoop into individual servings meal prep containers, freeze for up to a month or refrigerate for 4-5 days. To reheat, microwave 2 minutes from defrosted, or 4-5 minutes from frozen. Or bake (defrost first) at 350 degrees for 20 minutes.
