Instructions

Preheat oven to 400°F (205°C).
Coat a 12-cup muffin tin with butter. (For slightly larger portions, you can use larger ramekins or individual gratin dishes and increase the amount of ingredients in each.)
Press 1/4 cup stuffing in the bottom and slightly up the sides of each muffin cup. Layer 2 teaspoons gravy, 1 tablespoon turkey, 1 teaspoon gravy, and 2 tablespoons mashed potatoes over the stuffing. Brush the tops with butter or dot with pieces of cubed butter.
Bake until the muffins are heated through and the tops are lightly browned, about 25 minutes.
Let the muffins cool for a few minutes in the muffin tin and then slip them out of the pan. Serve hot.

Notes

Change your filling--Layer in any other leftovers you may have on hand, such as those crumbly last pieces of cornbread or roasted carrots, sweet potatoes, or Brussels sprouts.
Make without leftovers--These muffins can easily be made with store-bought ingredients like stuffing mix, deli turkey or rotisserie chicken, and gravy if you don't have leftovers on hand.
