Thanksgiving Leftovers Casserole
Ingredients:
3 tablespoons butter
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1 (12 fluid ounce) can evaporated milk
1 cup water
¼ teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
¼ teaspoon onion powder
2 tablespoons butter
1 cup finely crushed dry stuffing mix
1 cup cooked, diced turkey meat
1 cup shredded Cheddar cheese
2 cups leftover mashed potatoes
Directions:
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Lightly grease a 9×13 inch baking dish.
Melt 3 tablespoons of butter in a saucepan over low heat. Blend in the flour. Slowly stir in evaporated milk and water, then season with salt, pepper and onion powder. Stir sauce over low heat for 5 minutes.
In a separate sauce pan—over low heat—melt 2 tablespoons of butter. Blend in the dry stuffing mix. Place the turkey in the prepared baking dish. Pour the sauce over turkey, then sprinkle with Cheddar cheese. Spread mashed potatoes over cheese. Top mashed potatoes with the stuffing mixture.
