This hearty, rich-tasting main dish is sure to be a hit with your family. It's a delicious way to use up Thanksgiving turkey, and you can substitute 5-1/2 cups leftover mashed potatoes for the 6 potatoes. —Mary Lou Timpson, Centennial Park, Arizona

It looks really good and I plan to make it but I agree with the previous review, where are the nutritional facts. I too follow the Weight Watchers plan and need the nutritional facts. Please put them back.

Loved this casserole. It does taste just like Thanksgiving! Used leftover dressing and instant mashed potatoes. Turned out great.

Will be making again next year.

Excellent recipe! I made this recipe even easier by using boxed stuffing and my left over mashed potatoes which didn't have the sour cream and cream cheese in them. It still turned out wonderful! I made this in a 8 x 8 baking dish because that is all I needed.

This is so delicious, hearty, and a wonderful way to clean out the fridge of Thanksgiving leftovers.

I made it with stuffing out of a box for convienence, and topped it with some leftover gravy.

My fiance` LOVED it which says a lot.

The most delicious casserole, and they are not kidding when they're saying "tastes like Thanksgiving"...It does. Used chicken when I didn't have turkey...tastes almost as good. great recipe. I tried to cut down to only one can of chicken soup...use both.
