Ingredients:

  • 3 cups (450g) cooked turkey, cubed or shredded
  • 2 cups (480ml) turkey gravy
  • 1 cup (150g) frozen peas and carrots, thawed
  • 1/2 cup (60g) diced yellow onion, sautéed
  • 1 tsp (5g) fresh thyme leaves
  • 3 cups (600g) leftover mashed potatoes
  • 1/2 cup (50g) sour cream
  • 1 cup (115g) shredded sharp cheddar cheese
  • 2 tbsp (30g) melted unsalted butter

Instructions:

  1. Combine the cubed turkey, sautéed onions, thawed vegetables, and thyme in a mixing bowl.
  2. Fold in the turkey gravy until the meat is fully coated and the mixture is thick and glossy.
  3. Transfer the mixture into a 9x13 inch baking dish, smoothing it into an even layer.
  4. Whisk the sour cream into the mashed potatoes to ensure a velvety consistency.
  5. Spread the potatoes over the turkey layer using a spatula, creating small peaks and valleys on the surface.
  6. Sprinkle the shredded cheese evenly across the top and drizzle with melted butter.
  7. Place the dish in a preheated oven at 375°F (190°C) and bake for 25-30 minutes until the edges are bubbling and the potato peaks are mahogany-brown.
  8. Let the casserole rest for 5 minutes before serving to allow the gravy to set.
