You can use turkey, stuffing, left over corn pudding, a little bit of mashed potatoes and some brussels sprouts. Eat this with cranberry sauce. It’s so good.

The cutest ever turkey cookie cutter will bring a smile to everyone’s face.

We know this wonderful cheesecloth roasted turkey is carved and mostly gobbled, but you still have leftovers.

We have a tradition that goes back before I was born. Every Thanksgiving we make Baked  Pennsylvania Dutch Corn Pudding, which is an Amish tradition that influenced much of Pennsylvania. I cream my own corn in a Vitamix, but you can use creamed corn mixed with regular corn. I add buttermilk (you can use milk) and eggs to bake this iconic dish.

The Key to pulling this together is use to your left over stuffing. Luckily I have six recipes for that.

This is the best way to fuel up for Black Friday or just sit on the couch and order from Amazon. I have my own store divided into categories of all my favorite purchases that I love and use here. (Amazon is an affilate and I earn a small commission. Prices are not affected).

It’s all mixed in the baking dish until it feels right, (very thickened cream corn) and baked until it looks done. This leftover corn pudding made this turkey, mashed potato pie taste amazing. This is truly a down home, American comfort food, that promises to conjure up good memories of home.

Since your leftovers are not my leftovers,you will have to just trust yourself on a winning combination, but I can share with you some basic tips and mistakes to avoid.

• Keep some of the celery and onions that you chop for dressing. (or use fresh, but be sure to saute them before adding them to the pie. You may not need if you have lots of stuffing.
• Keep some (not a lot) of gravy.
• Use your side dish for leftovers, except green beans casserole.
• Only use pastry crust for the top. You can purchase puff pastry.
• Mashed potatoes are a must and will hold everything together.
• Add fresh herbs, such as parsley, thyme and sage.
• You can use some stuffing or dressing at the bottom of the pie. Pre-bake at bottom rack for ten minutes. Then add mixture and proceed with recipe.

I make my turkey pie cut-outs while I’m baking pies and freeze these for Black Friday.

Happy Shopping Everyone. Have a Great Weekend and welcome to the Holiday Season.

• Lay small pieces of butter evenly over flour and mix for 20 seconds at a time, stopping as soon as dough is shaggy.
• Stream in cold water one tablespoon at a time. ( If using kitchen aid type mixer, use paddle attachment on low setting for one minute max. Stream in cold water on sides of bowl. Mix on low, just until incorporated.)

Mix up your stuffing with some turkey, some greens like arugula and fry in butter. Serve with cranberry sauce. How good does that sound?

It starts with this stuffinig, made from my very popular grain free biscuits, which lay the ground work for the stuffing and many future recipes.

Make the Keto Stuffing Hash

This stuffing recipe has sausage in it, and I also added in some chopped turkey. Next went a whole bunch of arugula, but you could add any green you like.  I also fried some sage leaves in butter to up the flavor a bit. You can skip that part, but do use a good Irish butter. Cranberry sauce goes so well with this.

Sugar Free Cranberry Sauce

Of course, adding eggs is a great idea. I have the perfect recipe for oven-fried sunny side up eggs with a video (for the eggs). Or make these perfect poached eggs.
