Recipe View Bake to Perfection: Bake in the preheated oven until the potato topping is lightly browned and the filling is bubbly, about 30 minutes.

For a richer flavor, use bone broth instead of water when boiling the potatoes.
Add a splash of Worcestershire sauce to the turkey filling for an extra layer of umami.
Experiment with different vegetables in the filling, such as peas, corn, or celery.
If you don't have fresh parsley, dried parsley can be substituted, but use half the amount.
Ensure the mashed potatoes are smooth and creamy for the best texture.
