Main Ingredients
- 4.5 cup leftover stuffing, loosely packed
- 3 cup cooked turkey, chopped
- 2.25 cup turkey gravy
- 2 cup mixed vegetables, thawed corn, peas, and carrots work well
- 3.5 cup mashed potatoes use leftover potatoes
- 1.5 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 0.5 cup milk any kind

- 0.25 cup sliced green onions optional garnish
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 0.5 tsp dried thyme

Instructions
Preparation Steps
- Heat oven to 375°F. Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish.
- Warm gravy with milk in a saucepan over medium heat until smooth and steamy.
- Stir in turkey, mixed vegetables, garlic powder, thyme, and black pepper. Simmer 2 minutes.
- Spread stuffing in the prepared dish. Drizzle with half the melted butter and press gently into an even layer.
- Pour the turkey-vegetable gravy mixture evenly over the stuffing.
- Dollop mashed potatoes over the top, then spread to cover. Brush with remaining butter and sprinkle with salt.
- Top with cheddar and green onions.
- Bake 30–35 minutes until bubbling and golden at the edges. Rest 10 minutes before serving.
Notes
Try a sweet-savory twist by dotting the potato layer with a few teaspoons of cranberry sauce. For a crispier top, broil the last 2 minutes. Leftovers keep 3–4 days chilled; reheat covered at 350°F until hot.
