Turkey Shepards Pie by Tiffany
Have you got your stretchy pants out yet or how about those elastic waisted 90’s nylon windbreaker outfits?! I have, my stretchy pants! I’m scared for life after seeing me in pictures wearing the nylon windbreaker outfits worn with a turtle neck. You know the ones I speak of right? The multi-colored ones. Yeah. those. lol 😉 I’ve had a slight problem mackin’ on the pies, nuff’ said. 🙂 We are still working on using up the leftovers at my place. Here’s one of my very favorite ways to use up my Thanksgiving leftovers. All that’s really required of this recipe is whipping up the delicious biscuit layer that tops this pie, everything else is in the fridge. I kid you not, the biscuit topping is fabulous. I adapted it long ago to top the majority of my casserole dishes. It’s not a thick biscuit layer like some would think. It’s a thin layer that’s just perfect. Enjoy!
