Bake, uncovered for 20-25 minutes. Check to make sure the filling is warmed through and serve.

I just got to the end and noticed there's no preheat temp for baking it... I hope 375 is good cause I'm not a cook, as you can see... ????

Loved this recipe! We used sweet potatoes for the top because that's what we had leftover. It was a hit, everyone loved it!

This recipe is delicious but when I made it it was very soupy, despite following the directions to the letter. I had to drop spoonfuls of mashed potatoes on top, like little islands, and there was no possible way of smoothing them across the top. Next time I’ll try one cup of stock instead of two.

This was the best left over turkey recipe ever!  I'll cook another turkey sooner than planned just so I can make this recipe again.  Excellent!

This was fantastic! My family loved it. Just perfect. Thank you!

This is great!! The kids made faces while I was making it, but they tried a bite &amp; and ate a bowlful!

This was a wonderful recipe! I eat gluten-free and lactose-free, so i added rice flour and olive oil instead of butter and oat creme, instead of milk. 

Instead of frozen peas and carrots, i cut up two carrots into very small pieces. And then added fresh green beans.

Came out delicious!!! Unfortunately, none left over to freeze as we gobbled it all up!

Sighing at what&#8217;s leftover from your Christmas feasting? This quick recipe makes ingenious use of the ends of the cheeseboard, odd nuggets of stuffing and even the last spoonfuls of gravy.

Ultimate Christmas leftover sandwich

olive oil

tbsp cranberry sauce

bacon

leftover stuffing

butter, softened

white bread

tbsp leftover gravy

leftover cheese,

Heat the oil in a pan over a medium heat. Fry the onion for 10-15 minutes until browned. Add the cranberry sauce and fry for a few minutes more.

Meanwhile, cook the bacon in a frying pan over a medium-high heat for 5 minutes until golden and crisp. Set the bacon aside on kitchen paper, then add the stuffing to the pan. Fry for 3 minutes or until starting to crisp.

Butter one side of each bread slice. Put 2 slices, buttered-side down, on a work surface and top each one with 1 tbsp gravy, then layer each with half the onion, bacon, turkey, stuffing, cheese and remaining gravy. Sandwich with the non-buttered side of the remaining 2 bread slices.

Heat the grill to high. Melt the rest of the butter in a pan on a medium heat and fry both sandwiches for 3-4 minutes on each side until golden, then put under the grill for 5 minutes more until the cheese is oozing.
