Turkey Casserole Leftovers Recipe
One of my favorite things after every holiday meal has got to be the leftovers. If you've made our Perfect Turkey Recipe, you might need leftovers. This recipe is something that was shared with my father almost 20 years ago and we have made it numerous times every year without fail (heck, we randomly cook turkeys throughout the year just to have a casserole). This recipe is something that my family has made for years and in fact, we even make extra food every year so we have a lot of casserole. I cannot remember a year when we did not make Leftover Turkey Casserole. We hope that this Turkey Casserole Leftovers Recipe inspires you.
recipe for leftover turkey and stuffing casserole
Ingredients
- Turkey – cut into small, bite-sized pieces
- Stuffing – cold and cubed
- Gravy
- Jar of gravy – if needed, I like to use a little extra gravy for a creamier recipe
- butter
- extra virgin olive oil
- cooking spray
- Egg noodles
- breadcrumbs (optional)
Directions
- Boil the egg noodles until they are completely done in lightly salted water. Drain the noodles and toss with a little olive oil. Next, line the bottom of your baking dish with the freshly cooked noodles.
- Cut up the leftover stuffing and turkey into small chunks and toss with the gravy.
- Place stuffing, turkey, and gravy over the egg noodles in your baking dish. Add a small dollop of butter spaced apart about every 3 inches on top of the dish. Finally, top with breadcrumbs, if desired (we don't always use breadcrumbs). I happen to like the original recipe with the breadcrumbs a little better; something is pleasing about the crispy texture that breadcrumbs add to the dish.
- Bake the casserole for about 45-50 minutes at 350 degrees. Let stand 10-15 before serving. This helps to thicken up the gravy and makes a hearty meal.
- Enjoy! We hope that you loved our Thanksgiving Leftovers Turkey Casserole Recipe.

This is a great idea for holidays and year-round. I know I struggle to find creative ways to make my kids (and husband) eat leftovers!
This would be perfect for a couple of friends of mine – I’ll have to check it out. Thanks for sharing! 🙂
I shouldn’t be reading recipes at this time of the evening because that looks absolutely delicious and my stomach is starting to growl.
I might toss some sweet peas in there too.
Great family recipe! Thanks
Yummy! I make something really similiar at our house with leftovers. Its a double does of carbs with the noodles & the stuffing but oh so good 🙂 I like the spraying with Pam tip, generally I add the oild to the water, but your way would work too !
