Whenever anyone says Thanksgiving is their favorite holiday, most people do a double-take. We, on the other hand, know the real reason for all of this November holiday love: the food. From juicy, moist roasted turkey smothered in delicious gravy to stuffing, sweet potatoes, green bean casserole, and pumpkin pie, “Turkey Day” is as much about the feast as it is about spending time with friends or family.

Whether you’re hosting so many relatives you need those extra table leaves, cozying up with just your partner and kids, or throwing a potluck-style Friendsgiving celebration with your chosen fam, you’ll likely have leftovers. Rather than scrapping them or sending them away in reusable containers you hope your guests will bring back, try whipping up this delicious one-pan Thanksgiving leftover casserole made with our creamy, crave-worthy Mayo.

Directions

Preheat your oven to 350°F. Lightly grease a 9x9” baking dish and arrange the green beans on the bottom.
Make the cranberry mayo: Mix together mayo and leftover cranberry sauce until smooth.
In a bowl, combine the roasted turkey with the cranberry mayo. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Spread the turkey mixture on top of the green beans. Pour and spread your leftover mashed potatoes on top so it’s smooth and level.
Place the baking dish into the oven and cook for 15 minutes.
Take the dish out of the oven. Crumble the goat cheese on top and arrange the dried cranberries and pecans. Place back into the oven for an additional 15 minutes.
Top with fresh thyme and allow to cool slightly before serving. Top with warmed gravy if desired and enjoy!

Recipe Note

Want to get a head start? Prepare this casserole in advance and refrigerate. When you are ready to eat, follow the baking instructions and enjoy.
Don't have leftover cranberry sauce? Make your own by boiling 1 cup orange juice together with 1 cup cranberries and 2 Tbsp. honey. Reduce heat to medium and let it simmer for about 8 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the cranberries begin to burst and the mixture looks like a thin jam. Let cool.
