Think of this as a lazy turkey pot pie made entirely from Thanksgiving leftovers. It’s the easiest way to turn a fridge full of mismatched containers into a home-cooked meal. The slow cooker keeps everything tender and steamy, while the stuffing or rolls soak up all that delicious gravy. No crust, no oven.
In the bowl of your slow cooker, stir together the shredded turkey, gravy, green bean casserole, carrots, and peas until evenly mixed. The gravy keeps everything moist while it reheats, so make sure it’s distributed throughout.
1 cup Turkey, 1/2 cup Gravy, 1/3 cup Peas, 1/2 cup Green Bean Casserole, 1/2 cup Carrots
If using stuffing, layer it over the turkey mixture but don’t press it down too tightly—it should stay fluffy so the steam can circulate. If using dinner rolls or biscuits, tear them into bite-sized chunks and place them in a single layer across the top.
1 cup Stuffing
Set your slow cooker to low or medium heat. Warm for about 40 minutes, or until the mixture is piping hot and the carrots are tender but not mushy. If your leftovers were cold from the fridge, it might take closer to an hour.
If using rolls or biscuits, check them halfway through. They should soften and warm without getting soggy.
Taste and add salt and pepper as needed. Spoon into bowls and serve warm—bonus points if you drizzle a little extra gravy over the top.

Notes
Use what you have! Swap peas for corn, or throw in leftover green beans or mixed veggies.
If your casserole seems too thick, add a splash of broth or gravy before heating.
Leftovers will keep up to 2 days in the fridge and can be reheated in the microwave or on low in the slow cooker until hot.
