Thanksgiving is over and now you’re left with all of this food! But don’t despair! This delicious Thanksgiving leftover turkey casserole combines all of your favorite Thanksgiving flavors into one dish that’s not only delicious but also so easy to make.
I got the inspiration to create this delicious casserole from the ViveMejor website here. You can check the original recipe right here. The ViveMejor version of this Thanksgiving Leftover Turkey Casserole is cheesier but in this case, I decided to leave the cheese out since my stuffing was more of a sweet stuffing with apples and raisings.
This casserole came out so good! Once you bite into it you feel like it’s Thanksgiving all over again! I loved making this with my family and we all enjoyed it together and even invited a los abuelos to come on over for dinner.
INGREDIENTS
3 cups leftover prepared stuffing, divided
4 cups coarsely chopped leftover cooked turkey (about 1 lb.)
3/4 cup Hellmann’s® or Best Foods® Real Mayonnaise, divided
1/4 cup whole berry cranberry sauce
2 cups leftover mashed potatoes
1 cup shredded part-skim mozzarella cheese
DIRECTIONS
Preheat oven to 375°. Spray 8-in. baking dish with no-stick cooking spray. Spoon in 1-1/2 cups stuffing, then top with turkey.
Combine 1/4 cup Hellmann’s® or Best Foods® Real Mayonnaise with cranberry sauce; evenly spread over turkey.
Combine remaining 1/2 cup Mayonnaise, potatoes, and cheese in a large bowl. Evenly spread on turkey, then top with remaining 1-1/2 cups stuffing.
Bake for 40 minutes or until heated through. Let stand 10 minutes before serving. Garnish, if desired, with dried cranberries.

Sounds like a wonderful way to use leftovers from Thanksgiving. I’m loving the idea of a casserole.
That looks really tasty. There are always lots of leftovers with turkey so I am bookmarking this to use at Christmas.
Oh yes, this looks like an amazing casserole. I always love casseroles for dinner.
That is a prefect recipe idea. I love leftover Thanksgiving meals.
That’s definitely a smart way to use the leftover turkey I’d love to try this too and bet my kids would love it.
I love holiday leftovers and making them into a casserole is such a good idea! I’m going to have to remember this for next year.
I like leftover meal ideas because it gives a new flavor. I don’t want to eat leftovers for a few days. lol! Thank you for this recipe!
All these years my family were always looking for ideas to make with Thanksgiving leftovers! We usually resorted to the classic green bean casserole. We’ll definitely give this a try!
Love casserole!! Will surely let my mom make this for us. This will never get old to me
We always over cook for Thanksgiving and have tons of leftovers. This is such a great idea!
I can’t say I’ve tried making a turkey casserole dish after Thanksgiving, but this version looks delicious and festive.
This looks yummy and so pretty too! What a great way to put leftovers to good use. Love recipes like this. Thank you.
We didn’t cook anywhere near as much as usual this year for Thanksgiving, so we didn’t have many leftovers to speak of for a change. I do a modified chicken cordon bleu recipe with stuffing that is similar to this!
