Turkey Shepherd's Pie

(I like to add about a cup of frozen peas with the parsley)

2 teaspoons olive oil
3/4 cup diced onions
2 teaspoons minced garlic
2 tablespoons flour
1/2 cup chicken stock
1/2 cup milk
2 tablespoons chopped parsley
2 cups prepared instant mashed potatoes
1/4 teaspoon paprika
2 -3 cups leftover turkey

In large skillet over medium heat, add the olive oil, diced onions and garlic.
Add the flour and and incorporate thoroughly.
Add the chicken stock and the milk.
Stirring constantly, bring the mixture to a boil, simmer for 1 minute and remove from heat.
Add the chopped parsley and leftover turkey and stir well.
Place the meat mixture in a greased 9x9-inch casserole dish.
Using a spatula, evenly distribute the mashed potatoes over the meat mixture.
Sprinkle the paprika over the mashed potato topping.
Bake the Shepherd's Pie for 25 to 30 minutes at 400 degrees.

how about chicken pot pie with turkey instead of chicken

I don't have a recipe, but if you are going to use turkey 5 day after it has been cooked you will probably poison yourself and your husband.

If you froze it , then you can use it, otherwise, you need to throw it out.

The following is information I got off a cooking web site.

Storing leftovers
Cooked turkey keeps for 3 to 4 days in the
refrigerator. Stuffing and gravy keep for 1 to 2
days in the refrigerator. Other cooked foods from
dinner keep 3 to 4 days.
Freeze whatever you will not use up within the
recommended time. Frozen turkey, plain, will
keep 4 months at 0 degrees F. or below. Turkey
covered with broth or gravy will keep 6 months,
stuffing and gravy will keep about 1 month. The
foods will be safe for a longer time, but may
become dry or lose flavor and quality.
Use leftover turkey, gravy, and stuffing to make
sandwiches, casseroles, soups, and salads. Heat
leftovers to in internal temperature of at least 165
degrees F. Reheat gravy to a rolling boil.
