I hope everyone had a lovely Thanksgiving filled with good food and good times with family. Today I’m assuming most of you are out shopping for deals. I know I have my eyes on a few things like an Instant Pot and an Ikea wooden toy kitchen for my youngest.
Here’s a lovely recipe for you to come home to. It will use up most of your Thanksgiving leftovers, and it’s quick and easy to put together.
You basically mix up your leftover turkey, vegetables and gravy together in a 9-inch baking dish. Top it with your leftover mashed potatoes and sprinkle it with some shredded cheese. Then bake in the oven for about 30 minutes and you’ve got a new meal.
This shepherd’s pie is filled with juicy chunks of turkey and colorful mixed vegetables in a flavorful gravy underneath a blanket of creamy mashed potatoes.

Going into the oven this afternoon. Our first leftover night was a diner’s choice of the Karen’s awesome original dinner reheated, yummmm, or Turkey tikka masala, something a little unique. Tonight will be the shepherd’s pie. One more dinner left to create from the remaining turkey and some stuffing.

You’re making great use of your leftovers! Thank you for your comment:)
I’m going to try this tonight! Sounds delicious! Any way to use leftovers stuffing, and how would suggest using it! Thanks
Hi Tracy,
I like to fry them up as breakfast cakes and serve them with eggs and bacon. Here’s great recipe: https://www.wellplated.com/leftover-stuffing-recipe-stuffing-cakes/
Thanks, great idea! I’ve already put the leftover stuffing on the bottom. Getting ready to go in the oven. I’ll let you know. Thanks a bunch!
Since my family never finishes the turkey we eat during the holidays, this is a really nice way to use up the leftovers!

Great idea for leftovers. I always use beef for shepherd’s pie but like the idea of using turkey!
Thanks Maria and have a great week:)
