Fast & Easy Recipe For Thanksgiving Day Turkey Leftovers

BAY AREA, CA – This quick and tasty casserole will help use your Thanksgiving Day leftovers. If you still have the turkey dinner fixings left over, all you need to add is puff pastry. Enjoy!

Thanksgiving Leftover Turkey Pot Pie

INGREDIENTS:

• About 3 cups cooked turkey, cut into bite-size pieces
• About 2 cups leftover vegetables of any kind, preferably corn, peas, carrots, green beans and onion. Even cooked pieces of potato will do. You won't want to use leftover mashed potato - it will just disintegrate in the casserole.
• About 1 1/2 cups gravy, slightly warmed
• 1 puff pastry sheet, thawed (thawing takes about 45 minutes)

DIRECTIONS:

Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
Remember to thaw the puff pastry before you begin making this recipe.

• In a large (2 qt.) oven-proof casserole dish, mix the turkey, veggies and gravy together until well mixed.
• Place the puff pastry sheet on top, allowing any excess to hang over the sides of the dish. Cut several vent holes into the top of the pastry.
• Place the casserole dish on a rimmed baking sheet and bake in the preheated oven until the top is golden brown and looks crisp, about 40 - 45 minutes.
