This bake is the perfect Thanksgiving leftover concoction because it utilizes a large portion of the holiday meal: noodles, peas, turkey, mashed potatoes and even pie crust. When making pie dough for desserts, make an extra batch to use for this recipe. There is no amount of mashed potatoes mentioned in this recipe, because the amount needed to cover each bake varies.
