-leftover turkey shredded up in small chunks
-leftover gravy + another can or two of gravy from the store
-1 box cooked spaghetti
-some cooking sherry (I always guesstimate)
...-a few shakes of grated Parmesan cheese

-mix it all together in a glass baking dish, sprinkle with Italian bread crumbs, put it in the oven, and when it's bubbling and slightly browned on the top it's done!
