Ingredients

3 cups turkey shredded
2 cups mashed potatoes
1 ½ cups shredded cheddar cheese
½ cup whole berry cranberry sauce
¾ cup mayonnaise
4 cups stuffing

Instructions

Preheat oven to 350℉. Prepare your casserole dish.
Add cooked turkey layer to the base of the dish.
Gently spread the mashed potatoes over the turkey layer, ensuring it’s evenly distributed.
Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese over the mashed potatoes.
Mix together cranberry and mayo. Spread over the cheese layer.
Cover casserole with the prepared stuffing.
