The beauty of this healthy shepherd's pie recipe? The pumpkin puree makes it fast! It's paleo and Whole30-friendly. If you omit the red curry paste, this recipe is also nightshade-free and autoimmune paleo. Regardless of both those dietary accolades, it's delicious AF. It's up to you what meat to use as your base. It tastes great with beef or lamb, but also turkey or chicken. Either way, it's also packed with kale! Instead of flour, coconut milk makes both the base and the topping super rich and creamy. Lastly, you can make this entire meal in advance, fulling assembled. But you can also make each element separately in advance and assemble/bake-off right before dinner.

If using a can of coconut milk, make sure to stir it well before measuring. Using an oven-proof skillet means less clean-up and transferring of recipe elements, but if you don’t have one, you can assemble the pie in a 13x9 baking dish.
