Instructions
Set your oven to preheat at 425°F (220°C).
Warm the oil in a medium-sized oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat.
Add garlic, carrots, onions, and mushrooms (if using), and sauté for about 5 minutes, or until they soften and start to brown.
Mix in the ground turkey and thyme. Continue cooking, breaking up the meat with a spoon, until it’s fully cooked and lightly browned.
Stir in the ketchup and cook for a couple of minutes until it begins to caramelize slightly.
In a separate bowl, whisk the flour and broth together until smooth, then pour the mixture into the skillet.
Let it simmer until it thickens—around 2 minutes. Mix in the peas and season with ¼ teaspoon of salt.
Allow the filling to cool briefly before spooning it into individual ramekins.
For the Topping:
Place the potatoes in a medium pot and cover with salted cold water.
Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat and simmer until the potatoes are fork-tender.
Drain well, then return the potatoes to the pot over low heat.
Add milk, shredded cheese, and chopped scallions. Mash until smooth and creamy.
Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Spread the mashed potatoes over the turkey filling in the ramekins.
Lightly spray the tops with nonstick cooking spray and bake for 10–15 minutes, or until the top is golden and the filling is bubbling at the edges.
