This is a great recipe that takes about 30 minutes to prepare. If you don’t know what to do with all that extra turkey, this is the perfect use for it.

Read what one person commented in response to the recipe: “This was fantastic! So easy and quick to make. I used a bag of mixed veggies (corn, peas, carrots, green beans, lima beans) and everything else was per the recipe. Delicious. My whole family loved it and my Hubby ate seconds. Will definitely make this again!”

“Turn all your Thanksgiving leftovers into totally tempting comfort food with this mouthwatering stuffed shell recipe. Mix leftover turkey and stuffing with cream cheese, Parmesan cheese and mayo. Stuff this savory mix into jumbo pasta shells and top with gravy and mozzarella. Then just try to resist when it arrives hot from the oven, all bubbly, beautifully browned, tempting with meat, cheese and Thanksgiving goodness.”

Turkey Potato Casserole

For this recipe, you’ll need the following ingredients: one pound of cooked turkey meat, one onion, green beans, cheddar cheese, and one can of condensed cream of mushroom soup. It takes about 30 minutes to prepare and then another 30 minutes to cook.

“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.”
