Directions

  1. Preheat the oven to 400°F. Lightly grease a 9x13 inch baking dish with cooking spray. Heat the water in a large saucepan over medium-high heat. Stir in the instant mashed potatoes, milk and mayonnaise until combined, about 2 minutes.
  2. Combine the turkey and gravy in the prepared baking dish. Spread the potato mixture evenly over the turkey mixture. Top with the cheese and the fried onions.
  3. Bake for 30-35 minutes until light golden brown. Top with the parsley.
  4. Serve with coffee or tea and creamer.

Recipe Tip: Substitute shredded chicken for shredded turkey, and chicken gravy for turkey gravy, to make this recipe year-round!
