Day After Thanksgiving Pie

I guess I was ahead of my time (as usual) when I created this Thanksgiving version of Shepherd’s Pie several years ago. This photo is from an article in the Bend, Oregon Bulletin with recipes for my Golden Autumn Soup and Day After Thanksgiving Pie. Today you can find many versions of the pie in magazines and on the Internet. I still believe mine is one of the best. Just remember, you can vary this recipe according to what leftovers you have.

Servings: 6    Serving size: 1 cup    Preparation time: 20 minutes   Baking time: 45 minutes 

Ingredients 2½ cups Cornbread & Yam Stuffing or mashed potatoes 1 large egg 1½ cups Wine Basted Turkey, diced 1 cup Turkey Gravy 1 cup Easy Cheesy Brussels Sprouts or other cooked green   vegetables ½ cup raw celery, diced ¼ cup onion, minced 3 Tablespoons fresh chopped parsley 1 teaspoon poultry seasoning 1 teaspoon paprika
