Potato Top Pie

This is a casserole lined with cooked meat and vegetables, topped with mashed potatoes, and baked.  You guessed right, Black Friday's lunch, leftover turkey and vegetables and of course leftover mashed potatoes. I dressed it up with more mixed vegetables and to give it another level, some diced cooked Brats were added.  What a lovely way to present your leftovers?  Don't mentioned that they are leftovers and no one will know, cos the casserole  tasted so much better than it looked.

2 cups diced cooked brats
1 onion chopped
