Equipment
Ingredients
- 1 cup Turkey shredded
- 1 cup Gravy
- 1 cup Green Bean Casserole
- 1 cup Stuffing
- 1 cup Mashed Potatoes or sweet potatoes
- ½ cup Cheddar Cheese optional
- Salt & Pepper
Instructions
- In a medium bowl, stir the shredded turkey and gravy together until evenly coated. This helps keep the meat moist and flavorful while reheating.1 cup Turkey, 1 cup Gravy
- Add the leftover green bean casserole to the bottom of your slow cooker and spread it out evenly. This base layer helps prevent the stuffing from sticking or drying out.1 cup Green Bean Casserole
- Spoon the leftover stuffing over the green beans, pressing it down gently so it covers the bottom layer but isn’t packed tight.1 cup Stuffing
- Pour the turkey and gravy mixture over the stuffing layer, spreading it evenly with a spoon. Try to get an even layer so it warms consistently.
- Gently spoon the mashed potatoes over the turkey layer and smooth them out. They act like a blanket that traps in moisture and keeps everything tender.1 cup Mashed Potatoes
- If you'd like, sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese over the top. It’ll melt into a gooey layer that ties everything together.1/2 cup Cheddar Cheese
- Put the lid on and set your slow cooker to low. Warm for 40 minutes, or until everything is heated through and steamy. If your leftovers were cold from the fridge, it might take closer to an hour.
- Once hot, give it a quick taste. Add salt and pepper if needed, then scoop and serve warm.Salt & Pepper
Notes
- The amounts don’t have to be exact—use what you have and layer with your heart.
- Add a splash of broth if your leftovers seem dry.
- Try swapping cheddar for mozzarella or Monterey Jack for a milder flavor.
- Leftovers of leftovers? Store them in the fridge and reheat once more within two days.
