STUFF YOU NEED
This is a family recipe. Kids and Parents: you'll need each other to make it!
HOW TO PUT IT TOGETHER
- For Kids: Preheat the oven to 375° F.
- To make Sauce: Melt 2 tablespoons butter in a saucepan over low heat. Add flour and whisk until mixed. Very slowly whisk in evaporated milk, then season with salt, pepper and onion powder. Stir over low heat for 5 minutes; remove from heat.
- For Kids: Scatter turkey in a nonstick 9" round cake pan coated with nonstick spray.
- Pour the sauce over the turkey.
- For Kids: Sprinkle cheddar cheese and, if using, green onions, over the turkey and sauce.
- Dollop mashed potatoes over cheese by heaping tablespoons. Spread potatoes carefully with a rubber (or silicone) spatula so entire surface is covered.
- In a small bowl, stir melted butter into the crushed stuffing mix.
- For Kids: Sprinkle the stuffing mixture evenly over the top of the potatoes. Pat it down with your fingers. Be gentle!
- Bake, uncovered, in the preheated oven for 40 minutes. Let sit for 10 minutes before scooping out portions
