Ingredients

  • 4 cups leftover stuffing cold, broken into pieces
  • 2 cups chopped leftover turkey or leftover ham
  • 1 1/2 cups shredded sharp cheddar cheese divided
  • 10 large eggs
  • 1 1/2 cups milk
  • 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper

To serve

  • sliced green onions
  • cranberry sauce or warm gravy on the side

Method

  • Grease a 9 by 13 inch baking dish. Press the stuffing into an even layer in the bottom. Scatter the turkey over the stuffing and sprinkle with 1 cup of the cheddar.
  • Whisk the eggs, milk, Dijon, garlic powder, salt, and pepper until fully combined. Pour slowly and evenly over the layers and press down gently.
  • Cover tightly and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or up to 12 hours (overnight).
  • Heat the oven to 350°F. Uncover and bake for 35 minutes. Sprinkle the remaining 1/2 cup cheddar on top and bake 10 to 15 minutes more, until the center is set and hot all the way through (165°F).
  • Rest for 10 minutes, sprinkle with green onions, and serve with cranberry sauce or warm gravy.

Notes

  • Chill for at least 1 hour and up to 12 hours so the stuffing soaks up the custard.
  • Use leftover turkey and stuffing within 3 to 4 days of the original meal and heat the bake to 165°F in the center.
  • Leftovers keep up to 3 days in the fridge. Freeze cooled portions up to 2 months.
