Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients

  • 4 cups leftover stuffing
  • 3 cups chopped leftover turkey
  • 1 1/2 cups leftover gravy divided, slightly warmed
  • 2 cups leftover mashed potatoes
  • 1/2 cup cranberry sauce
  • 1 1/2 cups shredded sharp cheddar cheese
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • fresh parsley chopped, for serving

Method

  • Heat the oven to 375°F and grease a 9 by 13 inch baking dish. Press the leftover stuffing into an even layer in the bottom of the dish.
  • Spread the chopped turkey over the stuffing and pour 1 cup of the gravy over the turkey.
  • Spoon the mashed potatoes over the gravy and spread into an even layer. Dot with spoonfuls of cranberry sauce and sprinkle with the pepper.
  • Sprinkle the cheddar over the top. Cover with foil and bake for 20 minutes. Remove the foil and bake 12 to 15 minutes more, until golden, bubbling, and hot all the way through (165°F).
  • Rest for 10 minutes. Warm the remaining 1/2 cup gravy, sprinkle the casserole with parsley, and serve with the extra gravy.

Notes

  • Use leftovers within 3 to 4 days of the original meal and heat the casserole to 165°F in the center.
  • Make ahead: assemble without the cheese, cover, and refrigerate up to 1 day. Add 5 to 10 minutes of baking time.
  • Leftovers keep up to 3 days in the fridge. Freeze cooled portions up to 2 months.
