Mashed Potatoes With Leftover Turkey And Ham (Turkey Mountain)

Directions

1. Boil the potatoes for 30 min, drain, and return to the pot over low heat. Put a kitchen towel over the top of the pot and let them dry out.
2. (This will prevent a watery consistency in your final product.)
3. In a medium bowl, mash together the boiled potatoes, buttermilk, and seasonings. Set aside and keep hot.
4. To assemble: Create an informal mold. Rub the ham around the inside of a soup bowl to lubricate the surface. Layer the ham and turkey to cover the inside of the bowl. Spoon in the warm potatoes, completely covering the meat to about 1/4 inch from the top of the rim, and smooth out the top.
5. Invert the bowl over the middle of a plate, and give it a couple of sharp shakes. The potatoes should unmold in a meat-covered mound.
6. To serve: Make a depression in the center of each serving, pour on the hot Brown Onion Sauce (see recipe) and garnish with the parsley.
7. Serving Ideas : Serve with Brown Onion Sauce (see recipe)
8. NOTES : Yesterday PatH posted Graham Kerr's recipe for Brown Onion Sauce.
9. Here is his recipe for "Turkey Mountain" which he recommends serving with the sauce. I think this would be also be good using a variety of vegetables instead of the cooked meats.
