  6. Stir in mushrooms and tomato paste, cooking for 1-2 minutes until the paste darkens.
  7. Sprinkle flour over the mixture, combine, and cook for another 1-2 minutes.
  8. Add frozen vegetables, seasonings, and chicken broth, bringing the mixture to a simmer for about 5 minutes until slightly thickened.
  9. Transfer the turkey and veggie mixture to a greased baking dish, top with the mashed potatoes, and smooth the surface.
  10. Bake for 25-30 minutes until the potatoes begin to brown and the filling is bubbling.
