Thanksgiving Leftovers Casserole (It all goes to the same place anyway!)

My favorite holiday for "stuffing" my face, pardon the pun, is obviously Thanksgiving. Not that I need a special day for eating all of my favorite foods at the same meal and eating twice, okay, okay, three times as much food as I normally should at one time. This day, although it has become a festival of fall food, is also a time to share those scrumptious tators and turkey with the people you love and are grateful for. It's a time to reflect, give thanks and then… pass that sweet potato pie please! Here's an idea for a yummy casserole that can use up most of those holiday leftovers.

Ingredients

4 cups leftover roasted turkey (white and dark meat)
3 cups leftover stuffing
2 cups leftover mashed potatoes
3 cups French cut green beans (partially cooked)
1 cup finely chopped celery
1 can cream of chicken soup
1 can cream of celery soup
1 1/2 cups sour cream
1-cup milk
1-cup leftover turkey gravy
1-½ cups caramelized onions
1 Tbsp. of butter
½ cup melted butter
1 Tsp. dried chopped Thyme
1 Tsp. dried chopped Sage
1 Tsp. salt
1 Tsp. pepper
1 cup crushed cornflakes
