Place the diced potatoes in a large pot of salted water. Bring the water to a boil and cook until the potatoes are fork-tender, about 15-20 minutes.
Drain the potatoes and return them to the pot. Add the butter and milk to the pot and using a hand mixer, whip the potatoes until smooth. Season with salt and pepper. Set aside.
For The Filling
Preheat your oven to 375°F.
In 12" cast iron pan, cook the ground turkey over medium-high heat until browned. Remove any excess fat.
Add the chopped onions, diced carrots, and minced garlic to the skillet. Cook for about 5 minutes until the vegetables are softened. Then stir in the tomato paste and cook for another 2 minutes.
Pour in the Guinness beer, chicken broth, and Worcestershire sauce. Add the thyme, rosemary, frozen peas, and frozen corn. Season with salt and pepper and simmer for about 10 minutes until the mixture thickens slightly.
Mix the cornstarch and water together until there are no clumps and stir it into to the filling. Continue simmering until all the liquid has reduced and it has a light gravy consistency.
Transfer the turkey mixture to an 8X8 square baking dish, pressing down gently to flatten. Then spread the mashed potatoes evenly over the filling. You can use a piping bag to create a decorative pattern on top.
Bake the shepherd's pie for 25-30 minutes or until the top is golden brown and the filling is bubbling.
When finished, let it cool for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy!
