A plated serving of Post Thanksgiving Fat Kid Delight

Post Thanksgiving Fat Kid Delight

A gloriously over-the-top comfort plate built entirely from Thanksgiving leftovers. Tender reheated turkey layered over stuffing and creamy mashed potatoes, all drowned in hot, savory turkey gravy. Optional cranberry sauce adds sweet contrast, while melted cheese takes the indulgence to another level. Messy, nostalgic, and deeply satisfying — the ultimate post-holiday feast.

FAQ

Can I make this with ham instead of turkey?

Absolutely — leftover ham works perfectly with the potatoes and gravy.

What if my stuffing is dry?

Sprinkle with a bit of broth and reheat covered to restore moisture.
