Turkey Shepherd's Pie; Starting with Leftovers

Layer upon layer of Thanksgiving flavors.  Bottom layer is stuffing, topped by turkey and vegetables drenched in gravy and topped with mashed potatoes.

 A perfect way to serve up those Holiday Leftovers.......

Wondering what to do with those shelves full of food in your refrigerator.  This meal is the perfect way to re-purpose all of them into one delicious casserole.

Start off by taking that leftover stuffing and placing it in the bottom of a baking pan.

If you have enough gravy leftover then warm it up.  I didn't so I made some and included that step in the directions.  Once the gravy is made or rewarmed, chop up any leftover veggies and stir them in.  I had brussels sprouts, tri-colored carrots and corn.

Chop up some leftover turkey, about 2 cups worth and stir it into the gravy.  Spread this mixture over the stuffing layer.

The final layer are those leftover mashed potatoes.  Spread them over the top of the casserole and place into a preheated oven until heated through and bubbling.

It's an easy, delicious way to extend the flavors of the season.  What's your favorite way to re-purpose holiday leftovers?
