Thanksgiving Leftover Casserole

If you have a ton of leftovers, now you know what to do with all of your simple ingredients. A lot of people tend to make turkey sandwiches, which are great! But this casserole gives you the taste of Thanksgiving in such a different way. And PS, it’s a really flexible recipe.

You don’t have to worry so much about measuring. Use what you have on hand. Sometimes, I add a bit of mashed potatoes and cheddar cheese before baking just to make it the ultimate leftover Thanksgiving dish.  I just love this quick next day meal.
