Brown Butter & Sage Shepherd’s Pie Ingredients:

- 4 cups leftover turkey
- 1 cup leftover gravy, warm
Preparation Steps
Brown Butter & Sage Mashed Potatoes Directions:
- Preheat oven to 400F.
- Cut off the top of the garlic bulbs (about 1/4 inch), drizzle with olive oil, and wrap in aluminum foil. Bake until golden and bulbs are soft, about 35 minutes.
- While garlic cooks, add cubed potatoes to a large pot and fill with enough cold water to cover potatoes. Add salt and bring to a boil. Lower heat to a simmer and cook until potatoes are fork tender. Drain potatoes, add back to the large pot.
- While potatoes cook, melt butter in a skillet over medium. Swirl butter around pan until it begins to foam and turn lightly golden brown. Remove from heat and add chopped sage – the sage will turn darker and become crispy. Set aside. TIP: butter can turn from brown to burnt very quickly so make sure you are cooking using a medium heat.
- Squeeze the soft garlic bulbs from the head of garlic into the pot of potatoes. Add 2 tbsp sage brown butter and slowly add broth as you mash to reach your desired consistency. Taste and season as needed. TIP: warm (but don’t boil) broth in a small pot before adding to potatoes.
- Add Brown Butter & Sage Mashed Potatoes potatoes to a bowl and drizzle with any additional sage brown butter. Enjoy!
