Ingredients

2 tablespoons butter
3/4 cup onion diced
3/4 cup carrots diced
3/4 cup celery diced
4 garlic cloves minced
4 cups leftover turkey shredded or diced
1/2 cup frozen peas
1/2 cup frozen corn
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1 teaspoon fresh chopped thyme
1 teaspoon fresh chopped rosemary
2 cups gravy
4 cups mashed potatoes
fresh chopped parsley

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 375 degrees
Heat a large oven-safe skillet (I use cast iron) on medium-high heat. Add butter, onion, celery, carrots salt, and pepper, and cook until soft about 3 minutes. Add garlic and saute another 30 seconds.
Add Turkey, peas, corn, thyme, rosemary, and gravy and stir.
Heat leftover mashed potatoes until warm (they spread easier) and spread over turkey filling.
Bake for 25-30 minutes. Turn the oven to broil for the last 5-8 minutes to brown the top.
Garnish with fresh chopped parsley and serve.

Notes

If you don't have an oven-safe skillet. use a 9x13 baking dish instead.

Warm your mashed potatoes up, it makes it much easier to spread them.

Any combination of leftover veggies works great.

You can add 1 cup of shredded cheese on top if desired.
