This is a quick & easy one-dish weeknight dinner as well as a delicious way to use up turkey AND leftover mashed potatoes! I scaled the quantities in half, using a combo of frozen peas & corn which I turned into a 6-inch ovenproof dish. Since my potatoes weren't hot, I baked the casserole at 350 for 15 minutes. Thanx for another good one Carol!
