Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Thanksgiving Leftover Casserole.
Step 1
Start by preheating your oven to a cozy 375°F (190°C) and give a light spray to a 9x13-inch baking dish to prevent sticking.
Step 2
Next, take your leftover stuffing and spread it evenly across the bottom of the dish, creating a hearty base that will soak up all the delicious flavors.
Step 3
In a mixing bowl, combine your chopped turkey, any leftover vegetables you have on hand, and a generous dollop of mayonnaise.
Step 4
Stir everything together until it’s well mixed, then gently spoon this savory turkey mixture over the stuffing, spreading it out into an even layer.
Step 5
Now, let’s bring in the creamy goodness! In another bowl, mix your leftover mashed potatoes with shredded Cheddar cheese until they’re fully blended.
Step 6
This cheesy potato layer will add a delightful richness to your casserole.
Step 7
Carefully spread this cheesy mashed potato mixture over the turkey layer, making sure to cover it completely.
Step 8
For a pop of flavor and a touch of color, sprinkle ground paprika evenly over the top of the casserole.
Step 9
Now it’s time to bake! Place your creation in the preheated oven and let it bake for 30 to 40 minutes, or until the casserole is heated through and the top is beautifully golden.
Step 10
Once it’s ready, serve it warm and enjoy the comforting flavors of this delicious dish that brings together all your holiday favorites!.
