French Onion Turkey Shepherd's Pie image

In this healthier version of a traditional recipe, I punch up the flavor of turkey with caramelized onions and brandy, cut saturated fat with heart-healthy canola oil, and save a few calories for a sprinkling of gooey cheese. Serve with a side of lemony green beans and everyone's happy! -Jennifer Beckman, Falls Church, Virginia
