Leftover Turkey Skillet Shepherd's Pie

If you're wondering what to do with your leftovers after Thanksgiving, here's a great way to repurpose all that turkey, gravy, and mashed potatoes. This turkey shepherd's pie is a one-skillet dish that's easy to make and guaranteed to be gobbled up.

I love recipes that start in the skillet AND get baked in the skillet as well. For this one, you simply start with onions sautéed in a little olive oil, and then add peas, carrots, and corn.

After adding chopped turkey and gravy to the vegetables, you just top the whole thing with big dollops of billowy mashed potatoes.

Add a little cheddar on top if that's your thing, and stick the whole thing in the oven for 30 minutes.

And voila! Instant post-Thanksgiving dinner.

Serve it with a little extra gravy and cranberry sauce or chutney on the side and you'll keep those Thanksgiving flavors going just a little bit longer. Bon appétit!
