Turkey, Duck and Potato Bake

If you’re a long time reader, you’d know that this is the time of the year when I post quite a number of recipes for dishes using leftovers. To kick off the leftover festival, here is a creamy and cheesy casserole made with leftover turkey and duck, and thinly sliced potatoes.

Got leftover roast turkey? Make Turkey, Duck and Potato Bake

The turkey meat is from the roast turkey that we served at a potluck party on December 27; the duck meat is from the roast duck that we had for lunch on December 31. With lots of help from my daughter, Alex, and a mandolin slicer which she enjoyed using, the leftovers were transformed into a delicious dinner.

Now, I can’t give you specific measurements. I had about four cups of chopped turkey and duck meat and I eyeballed the rest of the ingredients based on the amount of meat I had. So, let me just describe how Alex and I made the casserole.

Holiday leftovers: Turkey, Duck and Potato Bake, Step 1: Saute turkey and duck in butter

The turkey and duck meat were sautéed in butter with lots of onions.

Holiday leftovers: Turkey, Duck and Potato Bake, Step 8: Pour cream over the potatoes, turkey and duck

Cream was poured into the baking dish, covering the top layer of potatoes entirely. Pieces of butter was thrown in.

Holiday leftovers: Turkey, Duck and Potato Bake, Step 9: Top with cheese slices

Then, the cheese. We have so much cheese in the house because so many supermarkets were selling them at half price and Alex and I couldn’t resist. These cheese slices were individually wrapped as they were meant for sandwiches. You can use any cheese that you like. Just grate or crumble and smother on top.

Holiday leftovers: Turkey, Duck and Potato Bake, Step 10: Bake at 375F

After 30 minutes in a preheated 375F oven, the casserole was done. The potatoes were just lightly crunchy.

How did it taste? Delicious. Loved by my daughters. And by their father too.
