How to make leftover Turkey Shepherd’s Pie:

We start by cooking up a bit of onion, celery and some mushrooms if you have them.

From there it gets even easier! If you have left over gravy this is where it goes in…if not, no worries! Add some flour and stock and whip up the gravy right in the pan!

Toss in your turkey and veggies and your almost done!

Got stuffing? Scatter that on top of your meat and veggies before the mashed potatoes.

Soften your mashed potatoes in the microwave on high for 1 minute or until smooth before spreading onto your casserole.
