This is my easy, low-point version of potato pie. It is very filling and low in points.
TOPPING
2 potatoes
quarter of one butternut pumpkin
3-4 parsnips
Chop, Boil until tender and mash with a little dijon or french mustard and some chives.
MINCE MIX
250g turkey breast, minced
400g tin of chopped tomatoes
one tin of tomato puree
veggies to taste - I use a chopped onion, a couple of chopped celery sticks, a little chopped cabbage, some red capsicum, and a few chopped mushrooms
Brown onion in cooking spray, Add mince and brown, add the rest of the veggies and cook a few minutes. You may need to add a little water to the pan to stop it sticking.
Add herbs/spices to taste. I used some curry powder and some dried sage. You could use chilli, garlic, whatever...
Add the tomatoes and puree.
Simmer for 20 minutes or so (to improve flavour and reduce a bit).
ASSEMBLY
Put the mince mix in a casserole dish.
Top with the potato topping. Make sure you cover the mince completely.
Sprinkle with 30g lite mozzarella (or other cheese, like Kraft Parmesan).
Cook in a moderate oven for about 30-35 minutes (or until topping browns and cheese melts).
Points - I count 5 for the mince, 2 for the potatoes, and 1 for the cheese.
That makes 8 for the whole pie.
So 4 large serves @ 2 points each. Or 6 medium serves @ less than 1.5 points each.
You can add more cheese or meat to taste, and still get a very low-point meal.
I find it best to make both topping and mince the day before, and assemble later. Seems to have more flavour.
I serve this with steamed greens or salad.
It also tastes marvellous the next day (makes a great lunch). I've never tried to freeze it.
Enjoy!
