"This recipe is great for any and all of your Thanksgiving leftovers. I've listed a few of my favorites here, but use whatever you've got on-hand."

Ingredients

2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1 small onion, chopped
2 to 3 cloves garlic, finely chopped or grated
1 1/2 cups leftover turkey, shredded or chopped
1 1/2 cups leftover stuffing
1 1/2 cups leftover mashed sweet potatoes
3/4 cup leftover gravy
10 eggs
1/4 cup flat-leaf parsley or tarragon (or your favorite herbs), chopped

Yields: 6 servings

Preparation

Preheat oven to 400ºF.

Place a large skillet over medium-high heat with 2 turns of the pan of olive oil, about 2 tablespoons. Add the onion and garlic to the pan, and cook until tender, 4-5 minutes.

Add the leftover turkey, stuffing, potatoes and gravy to the pan, stir together and cook until heated through, 4-5 minutes.

Crack eggs over the top of the pan and transfer it to the oven. Bake until the eggs have just set (they should be like sunny-side up eggs), about 15 minutes. Garnish the finished cake with chopped herbs and serve warm.
