TASTES LIKE THANKSGIVING CASSEROLE

Tastes Like Thanksgiving Casserole image

A tradition for us to use up Thanksgiving Leftovers. If possible I enjoy it even more than Thanksgiving Dinner (I always have been a sucker for casseroles). Found in Dec/Jan 2008 issue of TOH. Submitted by Mary Lou Timpson. A lot of ingredients, and slightly labor intensive, but worth the effort. If you are using leftover potatoes skip steps 3-5, and 12.

Tips:

For a creamy casserole, use heavy cream or whole milk instead of evaporated milk.
To make the casserole more flavorful, add a teaspoon of dried sage, thyme, or rosemary.
If you like a crispy topping, sprinkle some panko breadcrumbs or crushed cornflakes on top of the casserole before baking.
For a vegetarian version, omit the turkey or chicken and add more vegetables, such as diced carrots, celery, and peas.
