Something New for New Year's

We spent a quiet New Year's Eve at home.  I read.  The Big Guy surfed the Internet a bit.

I decided a few days ago that I wanted something different for NY's dinner; something that looked good and was satisfying, so I concocted a dish:  au gratin potatoes with a twist.  It was worth every second!

Here's what I did...

KATHY'S NEW YEAR POTATOES

1     lb ground turkey breast
5     shallots, thinly sliced
6     slices of cooked bacon, chopped
1     T onion powder
salt and pepper
2     T  chopped parsley
3     T Garlic infused olive oil

Pour olive oil into large saute pan.  Brown turkey meat and shallots;  add bacon and parsley.  Mix well.  De-glaze pan with water or chicken stock if needed.

4      large Yukon Gold potatoes sliced extremely thin  (I use a mandolin)
2      c heavy cream
1      T dijon mustard
8      oz  shredded Mexican Mix cheese
6      green onions, chopped
paprika

Preheat oven to 350°.
Layer potatoes in a buttered baking dish.  Spread all of meat mixture atop potatoes. Sprinkle on some of the cheese.
Add another layer of potatoes and cheese. 
Add mustard to cream and mix well.  Pour over potatoes and top with cheese, green onions, and paprika.

Bake for 75 minutes or until brown and bubbly.  Allow to sit for 10 minutes.
