Leftover Turkey Casserole
Leftover Turkey Casserole with an easy creamy cheddar gravy, cornbread and vegetables will make you wish you could eat this casserole for Thanksgiving dinner!
So Thanksgiving will soon be over and that turkey you guesstimated roughly 2 pounds per person will be half eaten. Thanksgiving leftovers are an art form in our house and leftover turkey recipes are some of the best meals we eat all year!
If you’re looking for leftover thanksgiving ideas think of any of your favorite chicken casseroles. Alyssa recently posted one for Chicken Tetrazzini Casserole that would be PERFECT with turkey.
Personally we also love the Ross Gellar’s Moistmaker, with the gravy soaked layer.
Some easy mix-in ideas for this Leftover Turkey Casserole:
- I used cornbread because that’s our traditional bread option, but you can use Cornbread Dressing too or regular stuffing!
- Roasted leftover vegetables instead of the classic peas, corn, carrots and green beans are an easy swap.
- If you want a darker gravy, let your roux cook longer to brown. I also added super sharp cheddar to the gravy.
- Want something a bit sweet and savory, dot the top with your favorite cranberry sauce.
- You can even skip the breading altogether and use a brown rice or wild rice.
Feel free to use any turkey you’ve got left over. Dark meat would of course be delicious too, in fact you could even make this throughout the year using a rotisserie chicken. In place of the turkey drippings or stock you could use chicken stock or broth.
Want a different kind of cheese? I used a pretty sharp cheddar cheese, but provolone, Swiss or mozzarella would work great too.
