Note
This recipe is an excellent way to use leftover turkey or chicken from holiday meals.
If you do not have turkey gravy, chicken or pan gravy works well as a substitute.
For a crispier top, you can sprinkle a little extra breadcrumbs or grated cheese on top before baking.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in the oven or microwave.
