1 c grated carrots
Cook above ingredients for 10 minutes, drain.
Add
1 c cream of chicken soup
2 c sour cream
Mix well. Then mix 8 oz stuffing mix with 1/4 c melted butter. Spread 1/2 stuffing mixture in 9 X 13 pan, then zucchini mixture. Then put the rest of the stuffing mixture on top. Optional: spread 1/2 c grated cheese on top. Bake 350 degrees for 25 to 30 minutes. You can use (2) 8 inch pans instead of the large one. You can also freeze one pan and then all you have to do is re-heat the casserole.

Put all of your leftovers together, including the vegetables. You will also want grated cheddar cheese for the top.
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Layer your turkey on the bottom, then stuffing, vegetables and any potatoes or squash that you have left. Pour gravy over the top and let it drizzle through the casserole. Top with grated cheddar cheese. Bake about 20 minutes and serve with cranberry sauce and a roll.
