Ingredients:
Puff pastry
Turkey or protein of choice
Green beans and bacon or choice of veggies
Cranberry sauce
Dressing/stuffing
Gravy
Mashed potatoes
Instructions:
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Line the bottom of your casserole dish with either puff pastry or leftover dinner rolls.
Add a layer of cooked turkey. If using ground turkey, ensure it’s seasoned similarly to your holiday turkey.
Layer on your favorite veggies. Traditional choices could include green beans and bacon, but mixed veggies or canned corn work well too.
Spread a layer of cranberry sauce over the veggies.
Layer your leftover stuffing evenly over the cranberry sauce.
Pour gravy over the stuffing. Make sure it's evenly distributed.
Top with a layer of mashed potatoes. You can pipe them for a decorative touch or spread them with a spoon for a quicker option.
Dot small cubes of butter throughout the top layer of mashed potatoes.
Place the casserole in the preheated oven and bake for 20-22 minutes or until the pastry is golden and crispy.
Allow the casserole to cool for about 15-20 minutes before serving. This helps the layers set and makes it easier to serve.
Tips:
- If you don't have turkey, rotisserie chicken from the grocery store works well.
- This casserole is a great alternative to traditional leftover sandwiches.
