Day After Thanksgiving Casserole

Here are the ingredients.  In the instructions below, I give quantities to fill a 9x13 pan.  But if you've only got a little bit of leftovers, just make a little casserole!  :) 

gravy
sour cream
turkey
green beans
prepared stuffing

I never have enough gravy left over, so let's make some!  In a large skillet on low heat, melt a stick of butter (1/2 cup).  To that add 1 1/2 cups finely chopped onion.  Cook for 10-15 minutes, stirring occasionally.  Whisk in 1/4 cup flour.  Add 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper.  Whisking occasionally, cook for 2-3 more minutes.  Heat 2 cups of chicken stock.  Add the chicken stock, whisk, cook (uncovered) an additional 3-4 minutes until thickened.  Taste to check seasonings and adjust if necessary. 

Remove from heat and stir in one cup of sour cream.

In a 9x13 pan, start with a generous layer of chopped turkey.  Drain a can of green beans (we don't make the green bean casserole at our house) and sprinkle over the turkey.  Pour gravy over turkey and beans and mix well (you may have too much gravy--it all depends on how much turkey you put in--so start with a little more than half, then stir it all up and see if you want more).  Cover everything with a layer of dressing.

Bake at 350 degrees until hot and bubbly (25-35 minutes).  Enjoy!
