Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups cooked leftover turkey, diced
  • 2 cups cold leftover mashed potatoes
  • 2 cups cooked leftover vegetables, chopped
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 4 eggs
  • 1 tablespoon chopped parsley, optional

Method
 

  1. Dice 2 cups leftover cooked turkey into bite-sized pieces.
  2. Scoop cold mashed potatoes into small mounds rather than trying to dice them.
  3. Dice 1-2 cups leftover vegetables, such as green beans, Brussels sprouts, or carrots.
  4. Heat 2 tablespoons butter or oil in a large cast-iron skillet over medium-high.
  5. Cook potato mounds in a single layer undisturbed 4-5 minutes to form a crispy crust.
  6. Turn the potato mounds in sections; add turkey and vegetables.
  7. Cook, stirring occasionally, until all leftovers reach 165°F, about 5-8 minutes.
  8. Season with salt, pepper, ½ teaspoon dried thyme, and ½ teaspoon garlic powder.
  9. Make 4 wells in hash; crack an egg into each.
  10. Cover over medium-low heat and cook until egg whites and yolks are firm, about 5-8 minutes.
  11. Garnish with optional parsley and serve.

Notes

Equipment: large skillet, instant-read thermometer.

Use leftovers refrigerated promptly and held no more than 3-4 days. Freezing within that period is needed if saving them for a later week.
