Ingredients

  • 3 pounds Yukon Gold or all-purpose potatoes, peeled and thinly sliced

  • 1 pound ground turkey
  • 3 large garlic cloves, peeled and minced
  • ¾ teaspoon dried sage
  • ¾ teaspoon dried parsley
  • ¾ teaspoon dried rosemary
  • ¾ teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt, or to taste, divided
  • ½ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • 2 cups heavy cream
  • 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard

Directions

  1. PREHEAT oven to 350°F. Lightly butter the inside of a 9 x 13-inch baking dish.
  2. COOK the ground turkey in a skillet with the garlic and herbs, breaking up any larger pieces of turkey with a spatula, until the turkey is browned and any liquid has evaporated.  Season with salt and pepper.
  3. ARRANGE half of the potato slices over the bottom of the baking dish so that they overlap. Dot with half of the small pieces of butter.
  4. SCATTER the ground turkey mixture evenly over potatoes. Sprinkle half of the cheese evenly over the turkey. Arrange remaining potatoes over the top so that they overlap each other and dot with remaining butter. Season evenly with the remaining salt.

  5. WHISK together cream and mustard; pour evenly over casserole. Cover the casserole tightly with aluminum foil.

  6. BAKE for 1½ hours, or until potatoes appear to be melting into the half and half.

  7. REMOVE from oven and sprinkle with remaining cheddar. Place under broiler until cheese begins to color. Let stand for 15 minutes before serving to firm up.
