thanksgiving leftover shepherd's pie

[susandennis]

I did not go to Home Depot (or Homo Depot as my friend, David who went there regularly to ogle hot guys). Instead I kitchened.

I made Thanksgiving Leftover Shepherd's Pie.

Mix together

chopped leftover turkey
chopped leftover mushrooms
chopped onion
chopped garlic
leftover gravy
chicken broth

Lay down a layer of leftover stuffing in a casserole. Then pour on the stuff you mixed together. Then top with leftover mashed potatoes. Bake at 400 degrees for 30/45 mins. Serve with leftover cranberry jelly. It's not that pretty when you dish it out but it makes the house smell wonderful and it tastes delicious!



I made this big casserole and then also made three single servings. I put the rest of the mashed potatoes and a lot of the dressing into single servings and froze it all. I froze the pie in pieces yesterday ready for one at a time.

The freezer is crammed but the fridge has a little more room to breathe. And I made a trip down to the dumpsters even tho that's on the spreadsheet for tomorrow. The bag was nicely full.

The kitchen is clean. The cat is clingy. But really all is fine. Home Depot will be there tomorrow.

But for the mushrooms that sounds wonderful. I'd never heard of Shepard's Pie before school in Massachusetts. They served it regularly and I loved it. Haven't attempted anything like it myself, ever.

It's actually supposed to have peas and carrots but ugh. Probably wouldn't have hurt it to add some of the green beans but I didn't think about it in time.

Sounds delightful and handy to have in the freezer! We only had a turkey breast so only a little turkey left. But we might have to Find A Way!

Happy Day After Thanksgiving, Susan!

I love getting creative with leftovers, I'm probably gonna buy tortillas and make enchiladas on Sunday.

omg that looks delish. And I don't blame you for leaving out the peas and carrots.

I used to make shepherds pie regularly when my kids were young, and I've never heard of putting peas and carrots in it. I'd serve them as side dishes with it.

Well, I think it looks pretty, and it sounds delicious!

A lot of my friends call it that too. When we did our big renovation (20 years ago, wow), I took to calling it Home Despot because it really seemed to be controlling our lives.

Ha ha. I used to reply to David with Home Desperate!

We've always called it Home Schleppo because you have to schlep everything home. 😁
