This was delicious and a Dutch oven makes it much easier than normal shepherd's pie! I made it as written except I substituted regular chili powder + 1/2 tsp of cayenne pepper for the ancho chili powder and I added a couple cups of mushrooms that I had left over from a different recipe. I also left out the oil, as my ground turkey was a fattier type. I might add a bit of shredded Gouda cheese to the top next time, but everything else was perfect!

This is a nice, easy base for a filling casserole. I made it as written except I left out the celery, added a few extra cloves of garlic, and used 2 cups chicken stock instead of water. Next time, I would sub some of the lentils out for brown rice for textural variety, add more mushrooms (and cut them in slices rather than dicing - my mistake), and add more seasoning. I think it would be good with oregano, more black pepper, and perhaps some chili powder.

I love this recipe! It's delicious, nutritious, and freezes well. I've made it with chicken (as written) and with ground pork and both are tasty. I prefer it with an extra egg or two and at least twice as much edamame.

Nice change from a traditional burger while remaining quick to assemble. I don't have a grill, so I baked these in the oven at 400 F for 11 mins total. I forgot to add the breadcrumbs (for which I was planning to substitute quinoa), but they stayed together just fine anyways. I thought they tasted a bit too salty, but I did make seasoning salt from scratch since I didn't have any pre-prepared, so my mix may have been off. Very tasty served with hummus, tomato, and spinach!

Very good starting point! I made it as written except I went a little easy on the cayenne and I added ~1.25 lbs diced chicken breast. I salted and peppered the chicken rather than adding salt later and I think it's plenty salty. I wouldn't add salt if you are salting the potatoes. I used 4 yukon gold potatoes, which wound up at just over 1 lb; I think this is about right. If I were to make this again, I'd cap the curry powder and garam masala at 2-3 tsp; it's good as is, but if your spices are fresh, it overwhelms the other flavors.

This is so delicious. Even better, it's very easy and quick besides the vegetable chopping! I chopped up too much bell pepper and onion for the amount of potatoes and chicken (I used chicken breast) I started with, so I upped the potato and chicken to 1.5 lbs each to compensate. There was still plenty of sauce to go around. I also increased feta to 3 oz and kalamata olives to 22 olives because both are tasty! I added a little over a cup of chopped asparagus and it blended right in. I wasn't sure if the "lemon, juiced" was supposed to be the same lemon as the sliced one, but I used bottled lime juice instead of squeezing my lemon.
