TURKEY POTATO CASSEROLE
This was made from Thanksgiving leftovers, and ingredients in my pantry. It's a family favorite and a hit at Pot lucks. With leftovers, it's a breeze, made from scratch ... it's work. Either way it's a hit and well worth the time. After a holiday meal half the work is done because you usually have the mashed potatoes, and turkey. When I make it from scratch, I usually use chicken rather than turkey. Prep times are from leftovers.

Tips:
- Choose the right turkey: Look for a young turkey with a weight between 12 and 14 pounds.
- Brine the turkey: Brining helps to keep the turkey moist and flavorful. You can brine the turkey in a simple solution of water, salt, and sugar for 12-24 hours.
- Roast the turkey at a high temperature: This will help to create a crispy skin and juicy meat. Cook the turkey at 450°F for 30 minutes, then reduce the heat to 350°F and continue to cook for 2-3 hours.
- Let the turkey rest before carving: This will help the juices to redistribute throughout the meat, making it more tender and flavorful. Let the turkey rest for at least 15 minutes before carving.
- Make a flavorful gravy: Use the drippings from the turkey to make a delicious gravy. You can add flour, butter, and milk to the drippings and simmer until thickened.
- Serve the turkey with your favorite sides: Some popular sides for turkey casserole include mashed potatoes, stuffing, green bean casserole, and cranberry sauce.
Conclusion:

It is a great way to use up leftover turkey after Thanksgiving or Christmas and can also be made with fresh or frozen turkey.
