Leftover Turkey Hotpot
"A way of using up leftover turkey (and other things) that doesn't leave it dry and flavourless. The recipe is my own invention, and I enjoy it because the meat remains moist and flavoursome."

1 meal

ingredients
- leftover turkey meat
- leftover prepared stuffing (I used Sage and onion)
- leftover gravy
- potato
- salt & pepper
- butter
directions
- Butter a casserole dish.
- Peel and slice potatoes.
- Pull turkey apart into BIG bite size pieces.
- Layer up potatoes, turkey, and lumps of stuffing, (in that order), putting a tiny knob of butter and a scant sprinkling of S& P onto the potatoes with each layer.
- Save a layer of potatoes for the top.
- Pour gravy (possibly thinned down a bit) over all, until it only just covers, and then add the reserved layer of potatoes.
- Put a knob of butter and some S& P onto each potato.
- Cover casserole with foil (or a lid) and bake in a low oven for about an hour (longer if you have done a large hotpot)- make sure the potatoes are cooked by inserting a knife to see if they are tender.
- Serve with cabbage, brussels sprouts, carrots- whatever veg you like, and, for the piggies amongst us, some crusty bread.

your pix and dialog don't match the recipe details. why bother? -
the first write up says you used mashed potatoes, the second says peeled and sliced: couldn't make up, or changed, your mind?

Isn't there supposed to be amounts? Or is it whatever amount you want?

I made this tonight with some left-over turkey and was it ever good!! I used country style stuffing and added lots of gravy (thinned out) so that it would be juicy. This is a definite keeper and I highly recomend it!!!! -
I made this with leftover turkey and gravy and stuffing. I did have to make up some extra gravy to pour over it. Delicious! Took it over to my sons and they loved it too! Thanks for a great way to use leftovers! -
I have to agree with the other reviews. Delicious! It was almost better this way than it was in the first place. I used leftover mashed potatoes instead of peeled and sliced potatoes, leftover "turkey" Stove Top stuffing and leftover homemade giblet gravy. The only complaint I got was that there wasn't enough. I'm going to have to buy a larger casserole dish for next Thanksgiving. :) -
What a fantastic way to use up leftovers! The only thing i had to make was some stuffing. I did a tiny corner w/o stuffing because my kids aren't fans & it was quite runny. The other portion though set up like a lasagna. The stuffing sort of absorbed some of the gravy & made it really easy to "slice & serve". The flavour was fantastic. I cooked it for an hour at 350 and the middle potatoes weren't cooked. It took about 1/2 hour to finish. Next time, I'll cook it at 375 degrees & I'm guessing it'll only take the hour. Thanks again-my husband was very impressed. Just as impressed as if i'd put out a complete turkey dinner. Go figure?!

This is delicious and simple. I used leftover turkey, stove top stuffing, gravy and mashed potatoes. I put fresh parmesan cheese on top. Used a large casserole dish and still had no leftovers. Thanks for this keeper JayBee ; )
