Ingredients
4 medium potatoes, rough diced1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil1 box pre-cooked bacon, chopped1.3 pounds (or 20 oz.) ground turkey1 tablespoon paprika1 tablespoon cumin1 tablespoon dried thyme3 celery hearts, diced1 medium onion, chopped2 tablespoons flour2 cups fat-free chicken broth1 cup fat-free sour cream, divided1-10 oz bag of frozen mixed vegetables1 eggsalt, to tastepepper, to taste
Directions
Place potatoes in pot and cover with water. Cook over medium heat until fork tender.

Put oil in large skillet over medium-high heat. Put bacon in skillet and heat. Add turkey and break it up. Add spices, celery, onion and brown turkey. If your turkey wasn't that lean, you may need to drain it before continuing.

Add flour and cook 2 minutes. Add chicken broth and bring to a boil. Cook till thick. Add 1/2 cup of sour cream and stir into mixture. Add frozen vegetables. Cover and simmer 5-10 minutes until vegetable are tender and potatoes are done.

When potatoes are done, keep a ladleful of the cooking water. Add the egg to it and beat them together. This tempers the egg so it won't scramble when you add it to the hot potatoes. Add the egg and remaining 1/2 cup of sour cream and use a potato masher to mash the potatoes.

Transfer the turkey mixture to a casserole, top with the mashed potatoes. Broil for approximately 5 minutes until the potatoes have browned on top.

Serves 8-10 depending on serving size.
