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!

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.
