Imagine your Thanksgiving dinner, layered and baked lasagna style. The stuffing, the turkey, the potatoes and the gravy. I even snuck in a few green beans, in a nod to the green bean casserole!
You can make each layer from scratch for a casual take on the traditional Thanksgiving meal or throw it together the next day with your Thanksgiving leftovers!
Inspired by the “Thanksgiving in a Bucket” craze from years ago, this layered casserole takes the idea to a whole new level and makes an impressive presentation. Oh, and it’s completely gluten free!

Assembly is a snap. Coat a casserole dish with cooking spray. Spread the stuffing evenly over the bottom of the dish.
Layer the turkey over the stuffing.
Top the turkey with a layer of potato, alternating bands of white and sweet.
Finish it off with a border of green beans!
Spoon cream of mushroom soup over the white potato.
Cover with foil and bake at 350◦ for 35 minutes. Remove the foil and bake 15 minutes more. Garnish with fresh rosemary and serve with the Roast Turkey Gravy.
This comfort meal has become a tradition at our house, I make it from scratch in early November to get in the holiday mood. Then I make it again with our leftovers on Thanksgiving weekend.
Start a new tradition at your house with this family friendly comfort meal.
Happy Thanksgiving from our home to yours!
This looks and sounds amazing!! Thanks for sharing at the What’s for Dinner party. Have a fabulous week!
Wow! What a clever idea! I just wish that there were more than 2 people in my house. I don’t think it has the same wow factor in an 8×8 pan. But thank you!
Hi Alene, Thank you! I think you could do a half recipe in an 8″ round cake pan! Make it fun!
