Air Fryer Leftover Turkey and Stuffing Casserole
Description
Leftover turkey and gravy under a crispy layer of leftover stuffing, cooked in one 7-inch dish in the air fryer. The easiest way to turn Thanksgiving leftovers into dinner, ready in about 30 minutes.
Ingredients
- 3 cups cooked turkey, shredded or diced
- 1½ cups leftover turkey gravy
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
- 3 cups leftover stuffing
- 2 to 4 tablespoons turkey or chicken broth, only if the stuffing is dry
- 2 tablespoons butter, melted
- ½ cup cranberry sauce, for serving
Instructions
- Preheat the air fryer to 350°F for 3 to 5 minutes. Lightly grease a deep 7-inch round casserole dish.
- In a large bowl, stir together the turkey, gravy, and pepper. Taste and add salt only if needed. Spread the mixture into the dish.
- Cover the dish tightly with aluminum foil and air fry at 350°F for 12 minutes, until the gravy bubbles at the edges.
- Meanwhile, crumble the stuffing into a bowl. If it is dry, stir in broth a tablespoon at a time until it holds together when pressed.
- Remove the dish from the air fryer, take off the foil, and stir the turkey mixture. Spoon the stuffing over the top in an even layer and drizzle with the melted butter.
- Return the dish to the air fryer, uncovered, and cook at 350°F for 8 to 10 minutes, until the stuffing is crisp and browned and the center reads 165°F.
- Rest 5 minutes. Serve with cranberry sauce.
Equipment
- 7-inch round deep casserole dish (2 quart)
- Aluminum Foil
Notes
- No gravy: use one 10.5-ounce can of cream of chicken soup plus ½ cup milk in its place.
- Leftover turkey, gravy, and stuffing are safe refrigerated for 3 to 4 days, so make this within that window or freeze the leftovers first.
- Reheat the finished casserole covered at 325°F for 6 to 8 minutes, then uncovered 2 minutes to re-crisp the top.
