Leftover Thanksgiving Recipe

How do you bake a pilgrim? No, this article is really not about that subject. This is more about leftover Thanksgiving dinner. What a waste it is to make that beautiful turkey and a few days later, throw it out because you are not sure what to do with the leftover meat. With this recipe, you can make 3 casseroles, freeze two for later and eat one now. What better way to preserve that bird and eat it in mid-winter.

Difficulty: Easy

Instructions

Things You'll Need:

3 packages of crushed cornbread stuffing mix (6oz. each)
12 cups leftover turkey cubed
2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
2 cans gream of celery soup AND 2 cans cream of chicken soup.
1 can cream of mushroom soup
1 can (12 ounces) exaporated milk
1 1/2 cups shredded swiss cheese

Step 1

Stuffing Mix

Prepare stuffing mix according to package directions. Add turkey and cheddar cheese.
Step 2

Milk

In a large bowl, combine the soups and milk. Mix well.
Step 3

Grated Swiss Cheese

In 3 greased 13x9 baking dishes, layer the 2 steps above starting with the stuffing mix. Repeat layers until ingredients are used up. Sprinkle with swiss cheese.
Step 4

Cover and freeze two of the casseroles for up to 3 months. Bake the third casserole at 350 degrees for 30 to 35 minutes. You will know it is done when it is bubbly. Let stand for 3-4 minutes to set before serving.
Step 5

Extra Casserole

I sometimes have too much made for the 3 pans. I will use a pie dish to make a fourth smaller casserole for my husband and I to enjoy when my daughter is not dining with us.

Tips & Warnings

To bake frozen casseroles, thaw in the refrigerator. Then as above bake in 350 degree oven for 30-35 minutes until bubbly.
