Ingredients
- 4 cups mashed potatoes leftover (use Idaho® Potatoes for best results)
- 2 eggs
- ½ Tbsp butter
- ½ Tbsp breadcrumbs sprinkled on dish (omit for gluten-free)
- 8 lices turkey leftover (can be chopped into bite sized pieces)
- 2 cups stuffing leftover, crumbled (for gluten-free version, use a gluten-free stuffing)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350º F (175℃).
- Butter a 9x9" (23 cm x 23cm) ovenproof dish and sprinkle the bottom with some breadcrumbs; set aside.
- Prepare the potatoes by adding 2 eggs, one at a time, and mixing well, before adding the second
- Spread half of the potatoes into the breadcrumb sprinkled dish.
- Next, layer turkey pieces all over the top of the mashed potatoes.
- Spread the remaining mashed potatoes on top of the turkey layer, and top with a generous amount of leftover stuffing, so that the potatoes are completely covered. Press down a little with a fork.
- Cover with aluminum foil (I rubbed a little olive oil on the inside of the foil, so it wouldn't stick to the dressing) and bake in preheated oven for 30 minutes.
- Remove foil, and continue to bake for another 10 to 15 minutes or until the stuffing begins to get crispy and golden brown.
- Remove from oven and allow to cool for five minutes before serving.
- Here's another great idea: make individual servings of potato, turkey and stuffing layered leftovers in ramekins!

Notes
- If using small ramekins, bake covered for 20 minutes and uncovered for 8 minutes.
- This is a perfect meal when served with turkey gravy, cranberry sauce, green beans and/or any other traditional Thanksgiving side dishes.
- Adjust amount of turkey as needed.
