Thanksgiving Shepherd's Pie

Thanksgiving Shepherd's Pie by car2ngrl

Thanksgiving dinner's done. Now it's time for leftovers -- or Shepherd's Pie, the Thanksgiving edition.

You can assemble this as you clean up or later on, after you've had a day or so to recover.

Ingredients

  • 2 cups diced turkey
  • 2 cups stuffing or mashed potatoes
  • 1 cup diced carrots*
  • 1 cup chopped broccoli*
  • 1 cup grated cheese**
  • 1/2 cup gravy
  • 1/2 cup soup***/broth
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon pepper
  • cranberry sauce, if available
  • *Can you say crudites platter? Any other veg from the dinner would also work or even frozen peas.
  • **That's right, not even the cheese board is safe with the recipe. I used Trade Joe's 1000 Day Gouda.
  • ***I used our leftover Butternut Squash soup but chicken broth would also work.
3-4 servings

Directions

Preheat oven to 400.

In a 1.5 liter casserole dish, combine all ingredients except the stuffing/potatoes. Mix well then smooth out the layer.

Add the stuffing/potatoes on tops and spread smooth.

Top with cheese.

Bake until bubbling and brown -- about 30 minutes. Broil the last few minutes to brown, if necessary.

Serve with cranberry sauce.

45 minutes

    * With all the spare time you have, you could have shelled all the pea pods from the crudites platter as well. :-) I think that, overall, this recipe could win an award for using the most leftovers in a single dish.
