Notes
- If you don't have leftover mashed potatoes, boil 4 peeled and quarted Russet potatoes until soft. Drain the water and mash with butter, salt, and either cream or chicken stock.
- Cold mashed potatoes are quite firm. You may find it easier to warm them slightly or let them sit at room temperature for a while before spreading them on top of the turkey.
- If you don't have a large, ovenproof skillet, you can transfer the turkey and veggies to a baking dish.
