Cut 1.5 kg of potatoes into eighths and place them in a pot with cold water and a teaspoon of salt.

Boil the potatoes until soft.

In a bowl, combine 1 kg of turkey mince, 1 large egg, 2 teaspoons of freshly ground pepper, 1.5 teaspoons of salt, chopped garlic, finely chopped onion, chopped yellow and red peppers, and 3 slices of soaked bread.

Mix all the ingredients together without overworking the mixture to avoid it becoming too crumbly.

Transfer the mixture into a 3-liter capacity oven dish, packing it down evenly.

Mash the boiled potatoes with 100 grams of butter, optionally adding a couple of tablespoons of milk and some grated cheddar cheese, and season with nutmeg if desired.

Preheat the oven to 180°C (356°F).

Spread the mashed potato mixture over the turkey mince evenly.

Bake in the oven for about 35 minutes.

Prepare a salad with peas, red peppers, and four leaf lettuce, dressed with reduced oil Greek dressing while the cottage pie is baking.

After baking, let the cottage pie settle before serving with the salad.
