1 or two slices of Bread (One was enough for Freddie)

Mashed Potatoes
What you will need:
8 Potatoes peeled and diced
1/2 stick of butter
Milk
Salt and Pepper to taste
In a large pot of water boil potatoes until soft. Strain potatoes and put in a large bowl. Using a masher or a fork crush potatoes. Add butter and mix using a hand mixer. Pour in milk 1/4 cup at a time until potatoes are smooth. Be careful not to add too much milk or they will become runny. If this happens, boil another potato and add it to the mixture.
To reduce the fat in this use chicken broth or skim milk (in place of milk) and omit the butter. Just remember that chicken broth can be high in sodium so you may want to eliminate any salt.
For a fun variation add roasted garlic.

Boil potatoes until fork-tender. While potatoes are boiling, soften onions in olive oil in a medium fry pan over medium heat. When clear, add the turkey. Use a wooden spoon or fork to crumble meat. (For a more beefy flavor you can add a teaspoon of Worchestire sauce.) Cook until all meat is thoroughly browned.
Drain potatoes and start to mash with fork. Add milk until smooth (add about a 1/4 cup at a time lessening what you add as it becomes creamier). Add salt and pepper to taste. In a casserole pan layer meat on bottom followed by peas and carrots. If you choose to use cheese, add on top of veggies and then layer mashed potates. Cook in oven for about 30 minutes at 350. Serve with a little gravy.
Total prep time 30 minutes.
