Units Scale

Stuffing from Scratch: (or use 5 cups leftover stuffing):

  • 1/2 cup chopped celery
  • 1/3 cup chopped onion
  • 1/2 cup butter
  • 5 cups cubed bread (I like to use a mix of white and fruit bread)
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 3/4 tsp sage
  • 1/2 tsp thyme
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1/4 cup raisins and apples (optional)

Creamy Turkey Filling:

  • 1 tbsp butter
  • 1 cup chopped celery
  • 3/4 cup chopped onion
  • 2 carrots, chopped
  • 1/4 cup all purpose flour
  • 1/2 tsp thyme
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1/8 tsp ground black pepper
  • 2 cups chicken broth
  • 4 cups chopped cooked turkey
  • 1 cup leftover vegetables (beans, corn, peas or a mixture)
  • 1/2 cup leftover gravy (or half + half cream instead)

Other leftovers you can add:

  • leftover mashed potatoes

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.

Making the Stuffing (if you’re not using leftovers)

  1. Sauté the celery and onions in butter until tender.
  2. Add the bread cubes. Mix until bread is coated in butter.
  3. Add salt, spices, raisins and apples. Combine well.
  4. Set aside.

Creamy Turkey Filling:

  1. Sauté the chopped celery, onions and carrots in butter until tender.
  2. Add the flour and spices, stir to coat vegetables, and cook for about 1 minute.
  3. Gradually whisk in the chicken broth.
  4. Bring to a light boil.
  5. Reduce the heat to low then add the chopped turkey, vegetables and gravy or cream.
  6. Simmer until thickened.
  7. Remove from heat, and let it cool slightly.

Putting it all together:

  1. Transfer the creamy turkey mixture into an oven safe dish (I used a 9×9 inch pie plate).
  2. If you have leftover mashed potatoes you want to use, spread them over the turkey mixture.
  3. Add the stuffing over the top, sealing the top.
  4. Bake uncovered for about 45-50 minutes.
  5. The filling should be bubbling, and the topping golden brown and crispy.
