The leftovers from our Thanksgiving feast are dwindling down to one last meal. It’s time for Leftover holiday pie! This recipe is completely versatile and creative. Today I’m using up leftovers from Thanksgiving turkey. So the crust is stuffing, the meat is turkey and gravy with broccoli and the topping is mashed potatoes.
This pie could just as easily use leftover ham and a pie crust with mashed potatoes or cheese topping. Have beef? Beef, gravy and veggies in the filling, with a pie crust bottom and potatoes on top, spice it up to suit your family. I’m using up some fresh peppers by chopping them small and mixing them into the stuffing crust. Get creative in the kitchen and use up your leftovers!
Leftover Holiday Pie: Here’s How I made it Today:
The Crust:
- Add some broth to the stuffing until it’s nice and wet and form it into a bottom crust. My stuffing used sausage so I moved most of the sausage down to the pie plate bottom and used the breading up the sides.
Next, make your filling:
- Today I used Leftover Turkey (great way to use up the small bits of dark, less desirable meat), leftover gravy and broccoli.
Finally the topping:
- I used mashed potatoes with cream and French fried onions on the top.
Can you say delicious and yummy way to make one last meal out of your Holiday feast? Oh yeah! By the time this pie is on our menu we are so done with feasting on the same leftovers. Making is all into a pie puts it all into a new framework and gives it a refreshed taste.
Use seasonings that help recreate the flavors and meld them together too. Ideas for that:
- Make your roast beef a smoky barbecue pie with smoky seasonings like Smokehouse Maple or Sweet Mesquite.
- Turkey and Chicken leftovers can be repurposed with curry, your veggies tray veggies and leftover hash brown casserole or a mashed potato top. OR use your poultry to make a leftover version of our Chicken Pot Pies.

Could I add cauliflower with cheese sauce to this recipe? How and when to add it

Hi Julie, Yes you can. I'm assuming you're replacing the brown gravy with the cheese sauce? I would add the cauliflower with the broccoli into the filling. If the cauliflower has the cheese sauce with it just add them both at this time. Sounds delish!
