1 onion, chopped
2 cloves garlic, chopped
1 pound ground turkey
salt and pepper
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon thyme
1 can corn, drained

Boil potatoes until soft. Drain and put back in pot. Add butter, milk, salt and pepper, and mash until smooth.
Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Heat oil in a large skillet, then add onion and garlic. Season with a little salt and pepper. Add turkey, thyme and garlic powder, and cook until no longer pink. Add corn and string beans. Stir together and cook a few more minutes. Remove from heat.
