Thanksgiving Leftover Casserole

Thanksgiving comes to an end, but the food seems to never end. So here is a recipe for all those yummy leftovers!

INGREDIENTS

3 Tbsp. butter
2 Tbsp. all-purpose flour
1 (12 fluid oz.) can evaporated milk
1 C water
1/4 tsp. salt
1/4 tsp. freshly ground black pepper
1/4 tsp. onion powder
2 Tbsp. butter
1 C finely crushed herb-seasoned dry bread stuffing mix (I had the stove-top dressing left over so I just used all that I had left over)
1 C cooked, diced turkey meat
1 C shredded cheddar cheese
2 C leftover mashed potatoes

DIRECTIONS

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Lightly grease a 9x13" baking dish.

Melt 3 Tbsp. butter in a saucepan over low heat. Blend in the flour. Slowly stir in evaporated milk and water, then season with salt, pepper, and onion powder. Stir sauce over low heat for 5 minutes.

(If you have leftover stuffing, skip this next step)  In a separate saucepan over low heat, melt 2 Tbsp. butter. Blend in the dry stuffing mix.

Place the turkey in the prepared baking dish. Pour the sauce over turkey, then sprinkle with cheddar cheese. Spread mashed potatoes over cheese. Top mashed potatoes with the stuffing mixture.

Bake 45 minutes in the preheated oven.

Enjoy! Thanks to the original recipe where you can find HERE.
