For a richer flavor, consider adding a pinch of nutmeg or thyme to the cheese mixture.
If your stuffing is dry, add a little extra gravy or melted butter to moisten it before pressing it into the pie pan.
Feel free to experiment with different types of cheese. A little parmesan or Gruyere could add an interesting twist.
The cheesecake can be served warm, at room temperature, or chilled. It's delicious any way!
If you don't have leftover gravy, you can make a quick gravy using turkey or chicken stock and a little cornstarch.
