Turkey, Turkey and More Turkey... What to do With it???

Second day of turkey and all the fixing, now its time to get creative.

I realize the possibilities are endless....

Turkey sandwiches
Turkey potpie
Turkey casserole
Turkey soup
A great treat for the dogs
And so on....

So my sister and I decided to get creative and play with our leftovers.

Of course we had everything- turkey, stuffing, mash potatoes, gravy, cranberry sauce, potato chips and of course pate brisee.

What doesn't everyone have leftover pate brisee??? What is it? Its a simple pie dough that can be made any time with basic ingredients. My sister always uses Martha Stewart's recipe, its a staple for her to always use.

With all of those ingredients we decided to make a Thanksgiving leftover pie. So simple and so good. We laid the dough in a pie pan, then added a layer of stuffing, then turkey, and then potatoes. And to give it added texture we finished with crunched up potato chips. Placed it in a 400 degree oven and baked it until the top was golden brown. The layers were beautiful:

We finished it with a gravy and a little cranberry sauce to make it a true leftover meal:

We made this last night and there is non left, thats how yummy it was. If you had leftover veggies you could serve it as a side with a slice of this easy pie.

How creative do you get with your leftovers???
