The best Thanksgiving leftovers may be combined into one dish with Turkey Delight. The festive foursome of turkey, gravy, potatoes, and stuffing is outstanding. On Thanksgiving Day, I frequently make the dish, then cook it a few days later.

I used half the potatoes and half the turkey, and I’m glad I did, because the 2 at pan is full! It’s perfect for Thanksgiving leftovers though! I added a little butter to the potatoes too! Nice recipe!
I used the leftover stuffing from the recipe “Awesome Sausage, Apple and Cranberry Stuffing” and made the remaining turkey stock from the recipe “Awesome Turkey Giblet Stock” into gravy (both recipes from this website). This turned out well, the entire family loved it.
Surprisingly very good. We used leftover stuffing and mashed pots. Also added about 1/2 can of cream of chicken soup to the gravy to make 2 cups. Will make this again with turkey leftovers.
This was so good! Didn’t break a sweat doing it either, used all my leftovers up, added a layer of corn, my turkey was in a brine, so the leftover gravy was very flavourful, I didn’t have to add anymore spices.. This is just like a thanksgiving version of Shepards pie!
What a great idea for leftover turkey, gravy and stuffing!
This was a great way to use up leftovers!
My family really enjoyed this recipe. I made a few separate dishes and added cheddar cheese to one of them.
Perfect way to use up leftovers.
Mmmm… This is a great recipe for Thanksgiving leftovers! I just used what I had- about 3/4 cup stuffing, 1 1/2 cups turkey, half a can of cream of mushroom, 1/2 cup gravy, and almost 2 cups mashed potatoes. I had to water the potatoes down a bit with milk to get them to a good consistency. I put it in a stone loaf pan with an aluminum foil tent for about 40 minutes, and it was bubbly, warm, and creamy. I’m guessing the end result would change based on if you used more or less of each ingredient. Thanks for the great, versatile recipe!
I didn’t even bother with the mash potato step as I had leftover mashed potatoes in the fridge! I just layered the casserole like the instructions stated (with the leftover cold ingredients) and baked. I served this with other leftover vegetable sides and extra gravy. Excellent way to make a quick dinner after a long day at work for a ravenous family.
Why not go all out? Throw in a thin layer of leftover cranberry sauce (jelly or berry) between the turkey and potato topping (I had about 2/3 cups and put mine on top of the gravy), it was AMAZING! Recipe is excellent just as it is, but adding the cranberry made it extraordinary!
Simple and scrumptious! I followed the recipe exactly and it turned out great! 3 of my 5 kids wanted more. My husband, who isn’t crazy about casseroles, said it was pretty good. Definitely a keeper!
This was bland and just not good. A waste of good turkey.
The perfect recipe for those Thanksgiving leftovers! I will be making this every time we have a turkey dinner! (Less dishes in the fridge too!)
I had an abundance of really dry turkey, and sweet potato leftovers. I wasn’t sure how this would turn out with just gravy, so I sautéed the turkey w. onion and garlic in balsamic and olive oil. I also used nutmeg, savory, thyme, and oregano/basil and a pinch of chili powder. I also put a bit of old cheddar on the top in the last five mins of cooking. Very flavourful and moist. I complemented the meal w. spaghetti squash and spinach salad. Super yum!
Every time I cook a chicken or turkey, I make this with the leftovers. I have not met a single person who hasn’t loved this the next day.
It’s just okay. Good way to get rid of those Thanksgiving leftovers, but it’s just okay.
Think this recipe sounds Awesome!!! Don’t worry about what everyone else says about it being bland. They need to realize It’s LOW SODIUM!!!!!
This was pretty good at using just about all the leftovers and tasting like thanksgiving all over again. Would do it again next year with all the same ingredients.
Awesome! Great for Thanksgiving leftovers. As others have said you could probably throw everything in this casserole- corn, beans, sweet potatoes, etc. Just finish with enough gravy so it doesn’t dry out.
I have always had difficulty getting everyone to eat leftover turkey…I’ve tried many ways to use this up, but the whole household complains for one reason or another…this recipe fits the bill…everyone eats…I use up the leftovers…Thank you so much for this idea…Canadian thanksgiving is coming up and my husband actually reminded me I should make this dish again with the leftovers!!! That NEVER happens.
