Mashed potato-topped leftover roast turkey farmer’s pie moistened with excess gravy is a lovely way to use scrap meat from your Thanksgiving / Christmas turkey.
The amount of ingredients in the recipe should all read “more or less”. I had to eyeball everything to make sure that nothing went to waste. I can tell you though that the leftover roast turkey farmer’s pie was baked in a bowl 10-inches in diameter and four inches tall. The yield is enough for six generous servings.
