One of the great things about Thanksgiving is the leftovers. The only thing is, I don't necessarily want turkey and mashed potatoes over and over again. So I set out to create a super delicious meal that takes care of most of the leftovers in one shot and is something totally different. That's how I created leftover pie, my own little take on shepherd's pie.
It's super delicious and only requires a few new ingredients. It's basically a mash up of turkey, stuffing, a veggie (I used edamame), and an onion all topped off with leftover mashed potatoes. Give it some time in the oven and you've got yourself a simple and tasty meal that everyone will love.
leftover pie
1 onion, chopped
2 cups leftover turkey
1 teaspoon vegetable oil
1 cup turkey or chicken stock
1 cup leftover stuffing
1/2 cup peas or edamame
2 cups mashed potatoes
Preheat oven to 350°
1
Heat oil in pan over medium high heat. Add onions and turkey, cook until onions become translucent.
2
Add stuffing, peas and stock until stock thickens slightly.
3
Pour mixture into loaf pan so it fills about 2/3 of the pan.
4
Add mashed potatoes over top and cover with foil. Cook for 20 minutes.
5
Take foil off and cook for another 10 minutes.
6
Eat up!

I love leftover pie. It’s such a classic way to clean out the fridge after Thanksgiving. I also always seem to come up with some great soup recipes after the blessed day of eating.
