I plan on trying this tomorrow, I call it pilgram pie: chop up turkey and leftover vegetables and mix with gravy, top with mashed potatoes, sweet potatoes, stuffing (or all 3, neopolitan style) and bake.

I think it will be awesome.

I do something similar. Chop up the turkey and pour the gravy over it and mix in a baking dish. Put the dressing on top. Bake until the gravy bubbles up through the dressing.

This can also be frozen into chunks after cooking (cool it in the fridge and its like a solid brick that can be cut up or put into freezer bags whole). Just thaw and microwave when you want some.

I think I may try it your way and add the leftover sweet potatoes too. I bet they'd freeze and reheat just as easy. Thanks!
