For the pie:
1 onion, finely chopped
1 leek, finely chopped
1 carrot, peeled and finely chopped
1tbsp olive oil
500g minced British Turkey
1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
400g can chopped tomatoes

Method

Preheat the oven to 200°C, 400°F, gas mark 6. For the pie, finely chop the onion, leek and carrot. Melt butter in a frying pan and gently fry the vegetable mixture for 8-10 minutes until tender. Remove from the pan and set aside.

Add the turkey mince to the pan, turn up the heat and fry for about 5 minutes. Add the vegetable mixture, the Worcestershire sauce, peas, tomatoes, tomato puree and thyme. Stir and simmer for 20 minutes until reduced.

Meanwhile, for the mash, cut the potatoes into even-sized chunks and cook in boiling, salted water for 20 minutes. Drain and mash with butter and seasoning. Stir in half the Cheddar.

Season the mince mixture and spoon into a shallow ovenproof dish. Top with the Cheddar mash. Sprinkle over the remaining cheese and cook for 30 minutes until golden brown and hot.
