There was SO MUCH food leftover from Thanksgiving :O And it gets really tiring to keep eating the same things over and over again for days.
But I refuse to throw away perfectly good food just 'cos we are sick of eating them. If there's one thing I detest, it's wasting food....especially when many out there are starving.
So I decided to make something new out of the "old" food.....and I call it the Waste Not! pie.
For my pie, I'll be using all my leftover ham & turkey (chopped into bits), stuffing, turkey gravy and mashed potatoes. All I needed to add that's "new" is some frozen mixed vegetables and some spices (i.e. curry powder, onion powder, paprika & black pepper).

Mix all the ingredients, except mashed potatoes, together.
At the bottom of my rectangular pyrex dish, I spread out the ingredients evenly. Then, I topped the ingredients with a layer of mashed potatoes. You can add some shredded cheddar cheese on top of the mashed potatoes if you like but I just prefer it plain.
Bake it in the preheated oven at 325F for 50-55min till the top layer is slightly brown.
And then, slice and eat!! It's not only an easy one-dish meal to make and eat...but it's actually quite yummy (you can hardly tell it's made with all the thanksgiving leftovers!) and most importantly, you DO NOT WASTE FOOD!
Three cheers for Tania! Great idea to create a new dish out of leftovers and a delicious one too!
